Calverton CDP, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Calverton CDP is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 17,721 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #79 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 42.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Calverton CDP earn a median of $108,315 a year, 37.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 9.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Calverton CDP is valued at $468,600, 54.4% above the national figure and 18% above the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,208 a month, 57% above the national figure, or roughly $26,496 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.5% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 68.4% 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.
