ZIP Code 77587

ZIP code 77587, in the Houston area, sits squarely in working-class to middle-income territory. A median household income of $53,497 and per-capita income of $21,830 trail both state and national averages, while a median home value of $189,300 keeps ownership within reach for many households. That home value carries a county-level effective property tax rate of 1.62%, a real cost that weighs on budgets already stretched by below-average earnings. The combined sales tax rate of 6.25% adds further pressure at the register, since everyday purchases absorb a larger share of income here than in wealthier communities.
