Cheverly town, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Cheverly town is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 6,107 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #184 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 65% of them. The median age here is 38.2 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 Cheverly town earn a median of $117,633 a year, 49.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 8% 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 5.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cheverly town is valued at $466,500, 53.8% above the national figure and 17% above the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,786 a month, 27% above the national figure, or roughly $21,432 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 74.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
