Households in ZIP code 21738, near Columbia, report a median income of $250,001, with per-capita earnings of $92,235. Home values sit at $914,300, and the county-level property tax rate of 1.17% translates into a substantial annual bill on that assessed value. A 6.00% combined sales tax applies to purchases in the area. With earnings this high, housing costs and taxes absorb a workable share of income, though the property tax line alone is significant. The gap between median household income and per-capita income also hints at larger households or multiple earners contributing to the total.
