ZIP Code 78211

ZIP code 78211, on San Antonio's south side, sits in working-class territory. Households here earn a median of $55,436, while per-capita income of $21,440 points to larger or multigenerational homes stretching those dollars further. Housing stays within reach, with a median home value of $118,300, yet the county property tax rate of 1.73% still takes a meaningful bite out of ownership costs. Add an 8.25% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and the overall load leans on residents whose wages trail the metro average. This is a community where budgets are tight and taxes matter.
