ZIP Code 77079

ZIP code 77079, on Houston's west side, sits firmly in affluent territory. A median household income of $101,995 and per-capita income of $69,878 place it well above national norms, while a median home value of $679,900 signals a high-value housing stock. That price tag comes with a county-level effective property tax rate of 1.62%, so owners here face a substantial annual bill. The combined sales tax rate of 8.25% adds to everyday costs. High earnings and expensive homes mean taxes take a meaningful bite, even though incomes are strong enough to absorb them.
