ZIP Code 71018

In ZIP code 71018, near Shreveport, households bring in a median of $41,638 a year, while per-capita income sits at $21,655. That earnings level shapes daily spending, and the 5.00% combined sales tax applies to most purchases. Housing costs stay contained: the median home value is $97,300, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 0.36% means annual property taxes run under a few hundred dollars on such a home. With income spread across essentials, the lower property tax load frees up cash for other needs, though sales tax still adds to the cost of everyday goods.
