ZIP Code 78547

With a per-capita income of $10,183, ZIP code 78547 sits among the lower-income areas of Texas, and the Delmita community reflects that reality. County property taxes run at an effective rate of 1.14%, a levy that can weigh heavily on households here since it applies regardless of earnings. Shoppers pay a combined 6.25% sales tax on purchases, adding to the cost of everyday goods. Together these figures point to a place where wages are constrained and each tax dollar matters, with residents shouldering obligations that stretch tight incomes further than in wealthier parts of the state.
