ZIP Code 78734

Households in ZIP code 78734, near Austin, bring in a median of $130,784 a year, with per-capita income at $87,042. That earnings base shapes how taxes land here. A median home value of $677,300 taxed at the county's 1.48% effective rate works out to a substantial annual property tax bill, so ownership costs take a real bite out of income. Day-to-day purchases carry an 8.25% combined sales tax. Even so, incomes at this level leave room to absorb both, though the property tax line is clearly the larger factor in any yearly spending plan.
