ZIP Code 21650

In ZIP code 21650, which takes in Betterton, per-capita income stands at $28,168, so household budgets here tend to be tight. A median home value of $317,300 is substantial next to that earnings level, and the county's 0.91% effective property tax rate adds a yearly bill that takes a real bite out of take-home pay. Sales taxes come in at 6.00%, a cost that shows up on everyday purchases. Together these figures sketch an area where housing and taxes claim a large share of what people earn, and careful spending matters more than in places where incomes run higher.
