How to use the table with the four towns
Killeen, Harker Heights, Belton, and Temple pages each repeat three with-dependents grades from this table: E-5, E-6, and O-3. They set those monthly figures beside a Bell CAD Category A mean. The mean is an appraisal-district value. The allowance is a monthly entitlement for the duty station. The town cited ZIPs (76541 and 76540 in Killeen, 76548 in Harker Heights, 76513 in Belton, 76501 and 76503 in Temple) identify the cities. The housing-area ZIP in the rate file is 76544. Read the column that matches the dependency status on the orders, and the row that matches the grade.
Town ZIPs are the ones cited on each city page. Housing area: DoD BAH 2026, checked 2026-10-04. Means: neighborhood comparison.
