ZIP Code 78520

In Brownsville's 78520 ZIP code, median household income stands at $50,116, with per-capita income at $21,364. Homes here carry a median value of $146,000, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.50% translates to roughly $2,190 annually on such a home. Adding an 8.25% combined sales tax means everyday purchases cost more, though Texas exempts groceries from that levy. Together, these figures sketch a market where housing prices stay within reach of local earnings, but the property tax bite and sales tax both draw meaningfully on a household budget.
