ZIP Code 21539

With a median household income of $57,708 and per-capita income of $29,790, ZIP code 21539 sits in working- to middle-income territory near Cumberland. Homes here carry a median value of $130,200, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.78% keeps annual bills low in dollar terms. Add a 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax picture stays restrained rather than heavy. Incomes trail state and national medians, so households here tend to watch spending closely, but the combination of lower home values and a below-average property tax rate eases the squeeze.
