In ZIP code 70436, near Hammond, households earn an average of $9,963 per person, a figure that shapes nearly every other cost decision here. County property taxes run at an effective rate of 0.41%, so a home's assessed value translates into a comparatively small annual bill. Sales tax adds 5.00% to purchases made in the area.
