ZIP Code 76701

In Waco's 76701, household earnings run low at a median of $30,313, while per-capita income sits at $35,728. Property taxes are levied at 1.43% of value countywide, so a home assessed at $150,000 would carry roughly $2,145 in annual tax — money that competes directly with everyday costs in a place where paychecks are thin. Add an 8.25% sales tax on purchases, and the squeeze tightens further. Buyers weighing a move here should compare any listing's assessed value against local wages, since even a mid-priced house can demand a meaningful share of income.
