Los Angeles, CA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 90042, which sits within Los Angeles, households earn a median of $95,282, while per-capita income reaches $50,709. A median home value of $976,400 taxed at the county's 0.68% effective rate works out to roughly $6,640 in annual property taxes, a meaningful line item against that income. Day-to-day purchases carry a 9.75% combined sales tax, which adds up across routine spending. Together these figures sketch a budget shaped heavily by housing costs and sustained by earnings well above many parts of the region, though the gap between home prices and income leaves little slack once taxes and daily expenses are accounted for.
