ZIP Code 21659

With a median household income of $73,750, ZIP code 21659 sits in middle-income territory, anchored by Cambridge. Per-capita income of $31,627 points to a workforce spread across a range of earnings rather than concentrated wealth. Homes carry a median value of $259,900, and the county-level property tax rate of 0.94% translates into a yearly bill that stays proportionate to that value. Add a 6.00% combined sales tax on purchases, and the overall tax picture leans on consumption as much as property. This is a place where earnings stretch further than in higher-cost markets, though not without tradeoffs.
