ZIP Code 78746

In ZIP code 78746, near Austin, households earn a median of $188,414, with per-capita income at $115,026. That earning power meets a housing market where the median home value is $1,494,300; at the county's 1.48% effective property tax rate, owners face a substantial annual bill tied to that valuation. Add the 8.25% combined sales tax on purchases, and daily spending carries a noticeable premium. High incomes here stretch further than they would in most places, yet the scale of home prices and taxes means housing costs still absorb a meaningful share of earnings, shaping how far each paycheck goes.
