ZIP Code 77551

ZIP code 77551 sits in Galveston, where households earn a median of $58,344 and per-capita income reaches $38,601 — squarely middle-income territory rather than affluent. Homes here carry a median value of $290,600, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.41% applies against that valuation. Shoppers pay 8.25% in combined sales tax on purchases within this area. Together these figures describe a community where earnings are steady but not high, home prices have climbed well past what incomes alone would predict, and the tax structure draws from both property owners and everyday spending.
