ZIP code 77099, on Houston's southwest side, sits in working-class to middle-income territory. Households here earn a median of $49,396, and per-capita income reaches $23,852, both below what many parts of metro Houston command. Homes carry a median value of $198,900, taxed at an effective county rate of 1.62 percent, so property taxes run higher than in some neighboring areas even though values stay moderate.

This ZIP blends modest incomes with a steady tax load, a combination that shapes daily finances for the people who live here.
