ZIP Code 79403

ZIP code 79403, in the Lubbock area, sits firmly in working-class territory. Households here earn a median of $47,907, and per-capita income reaches $24,246 — both well below what higher-earning parts of the city bring in. Homes are valued at a median of $84,100, and the county's 1.51% property tax rate applies against that smaller base, so annual property tax bills stay low in dollar terms. Sales tax, however, hits 8.25% on purchases, a cost that weighs more heavily when incomes are tighter. Together these figures describe a community where wages are limited and consumption taxes take a meaningful bite.
