ZIP Code 77455

ZIP code 77455, which takes in Altair, sits in middle-income territory: a median household income of $77,625 against a per-capita figure of $31,985, paired with a median home value of $190,600. That combination points to a working- to middle-class community where housing costs stay within reach of local earnings. The county-level property tax rate of 1.52% means a home at that median value carries roughly $2,900 in annual taxes, a real line item against the median income. Sales tax runs 6.25%, so everyday purchases add a steady, if unremarkable, cost on top of the property tax load.
