ZIP Code 90071

ZIP code 90071, in Los Angeles, reports a per-capita income of just $9,611, placing it among the lowest-earning areas in the city. That figure points to a working-class or economically strained population, though the county-level effective property tax rate of 0.68% is comparatively gentle on owners. Sales tax, by contrast, runs 9.75% on purchases, a heavier cost for anyone spending locally. The combination means residents here face a lighter property tax but a steeper sales tax, an unusual split that weighs more on daily consumption than on homeownership.
