ZIP Code 71302

In ZIP code 71302, which takes in part of Alexandria, households bring in a median of $34,669 a year, while per-capita income sits at $22,397. That spread means many families here watch each dollar closely, yet housing costs stay within reach: the median home value is $110,000, and the county property tax rate of 0.55% works out to a bill that won't overwhelm a yearly budget. A 5.00% combined sales tax adds a bit to everyday purchases, so spending patterns matter as much as earnings. Stretching a paycheck across essentials takes planning, but ownership here doesn't demand a six-figure salary.
