ZIP Code 77098

In ZIP 77098, on Houston's inner west side, households bring in a median of $116,650 a year, with per-capita income reaching $100,638. That earning power meets a housing market where the median home is valued at $787,300, and county property taxes run about 1.62% of assessed value — a meaningful annual cost at that price point. Day-to-day purchases carry an 8.25% combined sales tax. High incomes here support substantial home values, though the property tax bill and sales tax each claim their share of the household budget.
