ZIP Code 90017

In ZIP code 90017, within Los Angeles, the gap between earnings and home prices stands out sharply. A median household income of $52,717 meets a median home value of $692,300 — a ratio that makes buying difficult without substantial savings or outside help. The county's 0.68% effective property tax rate softens the annual bill somewhat, though it still lands near $4,700 on a median-priced home, or roughly nine percent of household income. Add a 9.75% combined sales tax on everyday purchases, and daily costs climb further. Per-capita income sits at $35,477, underscoring how stretched many households here are.
