ZIP Code 77011

In Houston's 77011 ZIP code, households earn a median of $50,133, with per-capita income at $25,830 — a working-class profile by metro standards. Homes here carry a median value of $209,300, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.62% means owners pay roughly $3,391 annually on that median value. Add an 8.25% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall cost of living leans on residents steadily. Incomes stay below what's needed to absorb those taxes without strain, so this ZIP sits firmly in Houston's working-class tier rather than its middle or upper brackets.
