Bladensburg town, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Bladensburg town is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 9,552 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #142 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 73% of them. The median age here is 31.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Bladensburg town earn a median of $62,400 a year, 20.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 43% below 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 13.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bladensburg town is valued at $330,400, 8.9% above the national figure and 17% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,652 a month, 17.5% above the national figure, or roughly $19,824 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 31.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 17.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
