Berwyn Heights, MD population, income and ZIP codes

Berwyn Heights town is a small town in Maryland, with 3,306 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #237 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 55% of them. The median age here is 34.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Berwyn Heights town earn a median of $145,833 a year, 85.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 34% above the $109,026 median for the 332 Maryland cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 6.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Berwyn Heights town is valued at $411,700, 35.7% above the national figure and 4% above the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,632 a month, 87.2% above the national figure, or roughly $31,584 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 86% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
