ZIP Code 77022

In ZIP 77022, on Houston's north side, households bring in a median of $52,739 a year, while per-capita income sits at $27,484. A median home value of $219,200 taxed at the county's 1.62% rate works out to roughly $3,550 annually in property taxes, a real line item against that income. Add the 8.25% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and paychecks stretch thinner than the raw income figure implies. Homeowners here juggle a mortgage, taxes, and daily costs on earnings that sit below many parts of metro Houston, so careful spending shapes the monthly picture.
