In ZIP code 78406, near Corpus Christi, households bring in a median of $54,740 a year, while per-capita income sits at $14,513 — a gap that hints at larger households pooling earnings. Property taxes in the county run 1.59%, so a home's assessed value matters a lot here, and sales tax adds 8.25% to most purchases. Together these take a real bite out of a mid-fifties income, especially once groceries, fuel, and everyday goods carry that extra percentage. Budgeting in this ZIP means watching both the tax bill on any property and the steady drip of sales tax on daily spending.
