ZIP Code 19802

In ZIP code 19802, which covers part of Wilmington, households earn a median of $53,812, while per-capita income sits at $32,690. A median home value of $194,600 taxed at the county's 0.71% effective property tax rate works out to roughly $1,380 a year in property taxes. With no combined sales tax, everyday purchases don't add extra cost at the register. Those two factors shape the spending picture here: housing costs stay contained, and day-to-day buying isn't taxed, so a mid-range income stretches further than it might in places where both taxes bite at once.
