ZIP Code 21251

With a per-capita income of $14,981, ZIP code 21251 sits at the lower end of the economic scale, well below what many Baltimore-area households earn. That income level shapes how the tax picture looks here: the county-level effective property tax rate of 1.46% applies to homes that tend to be valued lower than in wealthier parts of the region, so the dollar amount owed stays smaller even though the rate itself isn't especially low. A 6.00% combined sales tax adds to everyday costs. Together these figures point to a working-class community where taxes take a meaningful share of limited earnings.
