Dover, DE — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
Households in ZIP code 19979, near Dover, earn a median of $72,361, placing the area squarely in middle-income territory rather than among affluent enclaves. Per-capita income sits at $41,983. Homes here carry a median value of $293,900, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.43% means owners pay a comparatively slim share of that value each year. Shoppers catch a break too: the combined sales tax rate is 0.00%, so purchases escape that added cost entirely. Together, these figures describe a steady, middle-class community where the overall tax load stays gentle on both property owners and everyday spenders.
