Los Angeles, CA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP 90639, located in Los Angeles, stands out for its very low per-capita income of $8,063, a figure that places the area firmly in working-class territory and well below what most Angelenos earn. Property taxes here run at an effective rate of 0.68% at the county level, which eases the burden on owners even as home values remain out of reach for many. A combined sales tax of 9.75% adds a noticeable cost to everyday purchases, squeezing budgets that are already thin. Together, these figures paint a picture of economic strain rather than comfort.
