ZIP Code 21655

ZIP code 21655, centered on Denton, sits in solidly middle-income territory. A median household income of $90,385 and per-capita income of $42,506 point to a community doing better than many rural Eastern Shore areas, though not quite at affluent levels. Homes here carry a median value of $289,200, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.90% translates to a yearly bill around $2,600 on such a house. Add a 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax picture stays moderate—noticeable, but not out of step with the incomes earned here.
