Cockeysville, MD population, income and ZIP codes

Cockeysville CDP is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 23,265 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #63 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 34.7 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 Cockeysville CDP earn a median of $85,422 a year, 8.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 22% below 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 14.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cockeysville CDP is valued at $392,000, 29.2% above the national figure and within a couple of points of the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,553 a month, 10.5% above the national figure, or roughly $18,636 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.8% 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 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 34.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
