Cresaptown CDP, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Cresaptown CDP is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 5,238 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #196 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 39.9 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 Cresaptown CDP earn a median of $53,804 a year, 31.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 51% 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 10.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cresaptown CDP is valued at $148,400, 51.1% below the national figure and 63% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $838 a month, 40.4% below the national figure, or roughly $10,056 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.7% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
