Philanthropy through Real Estate

In ZIP 78705, a home costs 20.0x the median household income—making it Texas’s highest home value-to-income ratio. This isn't just a market anomaly; it's a strategic philanthropy lever. High ratios indicate extreme wealth concentration, where donated real estate can generate massive tax savings and long-term impact. The IRS SOI and Lilly Family School of Philanthropy confirm that appreciated property donations are rising—especially in high-value zones.
