ZIP Code 70465

In ZIP code 70465, near Hammond, households earn a median of $20,144, with per-capita income at $13,274. Property taxes in this county run at an effective rate of 0.41%, so a home's assessed value matters greatly against those earnings. A $100,000 house would carry roughly $410 in annual property tax, a figure that scales with whatever a buyer pays. Combined with a 5.00% sales tax, everyday purchases also draw on limited income. For buyers here, keeping home price aligned with local wages is the central challenge, since even a low rate adds up when income is this constrained.
