ZIP Code 21521

In ZIP code 21521, near Cumberland, homes carry a median value of $107,500, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.78% works out to roughly $840 a year on a house at that price. With median household income at $64,194 and per-capita income at $33,294, that tax bill absorbs a little over one percent of a typical household's annual earnings. The 6.00% combined sales tax applies to purchases rather than property, so it does not add to the ownership cost. Buyers here face a lower entry price than in many markets, though incomes remain the deciding factor in what stays within reach.
