ZIP Code 78163

ZIP code 78163, in the New Braunfels area, sits firmly in affluent territory. A median household income of $140,594 and per-capita income of $55,519 place it well above national norms, while a median home value of $435,600 reflects a housing stock skewed toward higher brackets. Property taxes run at an effective 1.13% of value at the county level, so owners of a median-priced home face a substantial annual bill. Add an 8.25% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall cost of living here carries a heavier load than many parts of Texas.
