Saint Louis, MO — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 63155, part of Saint Louis, the county-level property tax rate stands at 1.03%, while the combined sales tax reaches 9.68%. That sales figure is steep by national standards, and it lands hardest on households with tighter incomes, since everyday purchases carry a higher premium. Property taxes, by contrast, stay below what many large metro areas charge, which can ease costs for owners even as renters feel the sales tax more directly. Together the two rates sketch a working-class to middle-income area where buying daily goods costs more, but holding property carries a comparatively smaller annual share.
