ZIP Code 77478

In ZIP code 77478, near Houston, households bring in a median of $118,495 a year, with per-capita income at $64,732. That earnings level shapes how housing costs land: a median home value of $404,600 paired with a 1.86% county property tax rate means annual property taxes run near $7,500, a real line item even on six-figure pay. Day-to-day spending also carries an 8.25% combined sales tax, so purchases stretch a bit less far. Together these costs leave a budget that rewards planning, since income here supports ownership but doesn't erase the weight of taxes on both property and goods.
