ZIP Code 90045

In ZIP code 90045, on Los Angeles's west side, homes carry a median value of $1,399,100, yet the county-level effective property tax rate sits at just 0.68%. That combination yields an annual tax bill well above what most American households pay, even though the rate itself is low by national standards. Households here earn a median of $135,032, with per-capita income at $71,235, so the tax load absorbs a meaningful share of earnings. A 9.75% combined sales tax adds further cost to daily purchases, tightening budgets already stretched by steep housing prices.
