Choptank, MD population, income and ZIP codes

Choptank CDP is a very small community in Maryland, with 114 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #481 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 10% of them. The median age here is 46.6 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 Choptank CDP earn a median of not published a year. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 21.1% 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 Choptank CDP is valued at $275,000, 9.4% below the national figure and 31% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 49.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for Choptank 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.
