Brown Station, MD population, income and ZIP codes

Brown Station CDP is a small town in Maryland, with 3,918 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #230 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 51.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Brown Station CDP earn a median of $153,750 a year, 95.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 41% 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 3.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Brown Station CDP is valued at $449,700, 48.2% above the national figure and 13% above the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

A median age of 51.9 puts Brown Station CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

The Census withheld gross rent for Brown Station 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.
