Butlertown, MD population, income and ZIP codes

Butlertown CDP is a very small community in Maryland, with 522 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #379 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 29% of them. The median age here is 46.8 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 Butlertown CDP earn a median of $70,875 a year, 9.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 35% 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 28.9% 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 Butlertown CDP is valued at $215,400, 29% below the national figure and 46% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 95.6% 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.

With 522 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Butlertown CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Butlertown 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.
