ZIP Code 76823

ZIP code 76823, which takes in Blanket, sits in working-class to middle-income territory. Households here earn a median of $55,156, while per-capita income reaches $29,870 — a spread that points to a mix of wage earners and retirees rather than high earners. Homes are valued at a median of $139,600, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.11% translates into a fairly contained annual bill on that value. Shoppers pay 6.25% in combined sales tax, a rate that keeps everyday purchases from carrying an outsized premium. Together these figures describe a place where incomes are steady but not high, housing costs stay within reach, and the tax load leans on the lighter side.
