Dover, DE — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 19953, near Dover, homes carry a median value of $246,700 while the county-level effective property tax rate sits at 0.43%. That combination yields an annual property tax bill of roughly $1,060, a figure that sits comfortably against a median household income of $81,792. Per-capita income reaches $32,877. With no combined sales tax charged, everyday purchases don't add to the local tax load, which frees up room in household budgets already stretched by a home price that outpaces per-person earnings. The gap between median home value and per-capita income hints that buying here may demand two earners or a longer savings runway.
