ZIP Code 77074

In ZIP 77074, on Houston's southwest side, households bring in a median of $47,810 a year, while per-capita income sits at $22,088 — a gap that hints at many single-earner and retiree households. A median home value of $213,000 carries a 1.62% county property tax rate, roughly $3,450 annually, which eats into take-home pay alongside an 8.25% combined sales tax on everyday purchases. With earnings at this level, housing and consumption taxes together claim a meaningful share of the budget, so careful planning around both is essential for getting by in this part of Houston.
