Forest, LA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 71242, which takes in Forest, households earn a median of $38,833 a year, while per-capita income comes to $9,525 — a spread that hints at larger households pooling several earners. Property taxes run at an effective 0.21% of value at the county level, so a home's annual tax bill stays slight against that income. Sales tax adds 5.00% to purchases, a cost that touches daily spending rather than once-a-year bills. Together these rates leave most of each paycheck for housing, food, and transportation, though the low per-person figure means many households stretch a single income across several people.
