Louisville, KY — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 40041, near Louisville, households earn a median of $153,214, while per-capita income stands at $58,921.

Because earnings here run well above the national median, those payments absorb a smaller share of income than they would elsewhere.
