New Orleans, LA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 70163 sits in New Orleans, where the county-level property tax rate comes to 0.82%. That rate is low enough that owners here keep more of what their homes are worth each year, a pattern that tends to fit areas with lower property values and working- to middle-income households rather than wealthy enclaves. Sales tax across this ZIP adds up to 5.00%, so everyday purchases carry a lighter combined charge than many parts of the country. Together, the two rates point to a place where the overall tax load stays fairly gentle on both homeowners and shoppers.
