Corpus Christi, TX — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 78407, in Corpus Christi, sits squarely in working-class territory. A median household income of $47,688 and per-capita income of $19,729 fall well below what affluent areas command, while a median home value of $98,800 keeps ownership within reach for earners at that level. The county's 1.59% effective property tax rate applies to that lower assessed value, so annual bills stay contained even though the rate itself isn't especially low. Add an 8.25% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and the overall load leans on consumption as much as property, a pattern common in communities where wages are limited and homes are priced accordingly.
