San Diego, CA — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
With a per-capita income of just $6,710, ZIP code 92179 sits far below what most San Diego households earn, marking it as a decidedly low-income area. County property taxes run at an effective rate of 0.68%, a figure that would matter little to owners of lower-valued homes but still adds up on tight earnings. Sales tax in this part of San Diego comes to 7.75%, so everyday purchases carry a noticeable added cost. Together these figures point to a community where incomes are constrained and each tax dollar claims a larger share of what people bring in.
