ZIP Code 21840

Households in ZIP code 21840, near Salisbury, report a per-capita income of $64,382, while the median home value sits at just $9,999 — an unusual pairing that stands out. County property taxes run at an effective rate of 0.85%, so even that low home value generates only a slim annual bill. Sales tax in the area combines to 6.00%, applying to everyday purchases. Taken together, income here is strong against a very cheap housing stock, and the two tax rates stay contained, though the low median home value itself raises questions about what the local housing market actually contains.
