Little Rock, AR — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
Homes in ZIP code 72053, part of the Little Rock area, carry an effective property tax rate of 0.77% at the county level. On a house valued at $150,000, that works out to roughly $1,155 in annual property taxes—a figure that weighs differently depending on what a household brings in each year. Because the rate stays fixed, rising home values push tax bills higher even when incomes stay flat, which can squeeze owners whose earnings haven't kept pace. Day-to-day costs add another layer: the combined sales tax rate here is 7.50%, so purchases chip away at what's left after housing.
