Breaking that out more, 20% of taxpayers in California’s 40th Congressional District — represented by Kim, it covers eastern Orange County and parts of Riverside and San Bernardino counties — claimed SALT deductions in 2017; only 7.5% did in 2022, according to data from the National Association of Realtors.
