The percentage was not as bad as it was in the other two lower shore counties, with Wicomico at 35 percent, and Somerset County recording the highest number in the state at 53 percent.
The household income threshold for those under 65 as defined in the report is $40,000 for Worcester and Wicomico and $45,000 in Somerset County. Over-65 household income is $30,000 for Worcester and Wicomico, and $25,000 in Somerset.
The report was gathered from data collected in 2014, based on a pilot program in New Jersey and later expanded to 15 other states, including Maryland.

Beans and rice are delicious with some fat back.
Taxes folks....why does Worcester Co need so much for taxes?
And the Chicken Industry will help....HOW???
Somerset County's property values drop 6% while Wicomico's increase 6%. Something is wrong here. Somerset residents pay the highest piggyback tax in the state and real estate taxes were just hiked by 9%. Looks like hosting 1100 acres of solar, industrial wind turbines, and importing manure is putting a hefty toll on the residents there.
Don't invest in Somerset.
Pathetic. I'm looking ahead to the next 8 + years of new prosperity, despite the Democrats' resistance!
The chicken industry is the reason for such low property values. This not only for residential but farmland itself.
7:14, REALLY? Gee, I would have pointed my finger at CRIME, crappy test scores at schools and yes, inmates being released locally into the county. OK, I guess we can blame CHICKENS too.
