Aquasco, MD population, income and ZIP codes

Aquasco CDP is a very small community in Maryland, with 672 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #366 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 31% of them. The median age here is 42 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Aquasco CDP earn a median of $61,875 a year, 21.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 43% below the $109,026 median for the 332 Maryland cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 18.9% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Aquasco CDP is valued at $491,700, 62.1% above the national figure and 24% above the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 7.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 56.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Home values sit at 7.9× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere. With 672 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Aquasco CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Aquasco CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
