ZIP Code 76371

Around Rule, ZIP 76371 sits in working- to middle-income territory, with a median household income of $61,335 and per-capita income of $25,320. Homes here are valued at a median of $84,700, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.60% applies to that lower base, so annual bills stay contained even though the rate itself outpaces many parts of the state. Add a combined sales tax of 6.25%, and the overall tax picture leans on consumption rather than high-value property. Households earning near the median here generally have less slack than wealthier ZIPs, but the housing costs tied to this area keep property taxes from climbing steeply.
