Cost-of-living indices and BEA Regional Price Parity (RPP) numbers were not provided for Winding Bend or 77433, so I can’t accurately explain how local overall costs, housing, goods, or utilities compare to the U.S. average where 100 equals the national benchmark. What we can quantify is property tax. In this area, the city property tax rate is $0.8146 per $100 of valuation and the county property tax rate is $0.3810 per $100, which together estimate to about $1.1956 per $100 before any school district or special district rates that weren’t provided.
