ZIP code 77503, in the Houston area, sits squarely in working-class to middle-income territory. A median household income of $66,797 and per-capita income of $27,193 point to households earning steady but restrained wages. Homes here carry a median value of $182,500, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.62% translates into a meaningful annual bill on that amount.
