ZIP Code 78203

ZIP code 78203 sits within San Antonio, where household earnings center on $35,536 and per-person income reaches $18,976 — a working-class profile by any measure. Homes here carry a median value of $158,000, and the county's 1.73% effective property tax rate translates into a meaningful annual bill on that amount. Add an 8.25% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and the overall tax load takes a noticeable share of local paychecks. Incomes and home prices both run below what more affluent parts of the metro show, so the tax burden lands harder here than in wealthier corners of the city.
