Las Cruces, NM — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 88003, which falls in Las Cruces, shows a per-capita income of just $5,168 — a figure that points to a student-heavy, working-class area rather than an affluent one. The county-level property tax rate sits at 0.67%, and the combined sales tax comes to 4.88%. That sales tax rate is on the lower end, which eases day-to-day costs for people earning little. Property taxes at 0.67% also stay below many national averages, though the very low income here means even that rate can weigh heavily on local households.
