Burtonsville CDP, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Burtonsville CDP is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 10,063 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #138 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 74% of them. The median age here is 37.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Burtonsville CDP earn a median of $130,000 a year, 65.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 19% above 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 3.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Burtonsville CDP is valued at $481,800, 58.8% above the national figure and 21% above the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,222 a month, 58% above the national figure, or roughly $26,664 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.5% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 80.7% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
