Bethany Beach, DE — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
ZIP code 19971, centered on Bethany Beach, sits firmly in affluent territory. Median household income of $102,146 and per-capita income of $78,576 both run well above national averages, while a median home value of $608,800 signals a coastal market where property carries real weight. The county-level effective property tax rate of 0.32% keeps annual property taxes comparatively contained despite those high valuations.
