ZIP Code 77442

In ZIP code 77442, which takes in Altair, households bring in a median of $70,859 a year, while per-capita income sits at $28,487. That gap hints at larger households pooling earnings rather than high individual pay. A median home value of $237,100 paired with a 1.05% county property tax rate means annual property taxes land near $2,490, a real line item against that income. Sales tax runs 6.25%, so everyday purchases take a steady bite. Together these figures sketch a place where housing costs and consumption taxes shape the monthly budget as much as earnings do.
