ZIP Code 76117

In ZIP code 76117, near Fort Worth, homes carry a median value of $211,700 while households earn a median of $51,670. At the county's 1.65% effective property tax rate, that home would generate roughly $3,493 in annual taxes — about 6.8% of median household income, a real strain on budgets that per-capita income of $28,992 does little to ease. Add an 8.25% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and the squeeze tightens further. Ownership here demands careful planning, since housing costs and taxes together claim a substantial share of what residents bring home.
