ZIP Code 21202

In ZIP 21202, within Baltimore, households earn a median of $59,377, while per-capita income reaches $43,028. A median home value of $271,800 carries a county-level effective property tax rate of 1.46%, which works out to roughly $3,968 annually for a home at that value. Combined with the 6.00% sales tax, these costs shape how far each paycheck stretches. Housing taxes alone consume a meaningful share of a median earner's gross income, and everyday purchases add more. Budgeting here means weighing property costs against daily spending, since both taxes draw from the same pool of earnings.
