ZIP Code 78223

ZIP code 78223, on San Antonio's south side, sits in working-class to middle-income territory. Households here earn a median of $52,088, and per-capita income reaches $24,217 — figures that trail both the metro and national averages. Housing stays within reach: the median home value is $172,600, and Bexar County's 1.73% effective property tax rate means an owner at that value pays roughly $2,990 a year. Add an 8.25% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax load takes a noticeable bite out of paychecks that are already stretched.
