Delmar town, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Delmar town is a small town in Maryland, with 4,058 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #223 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 58% of them. The median age here is 38.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Delmar town earn a median of $77,402 a year, 1.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 29% below the $109,026 median for the 332 Maryland cities we cover. 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 9.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Delmar town is valued at $211,600, 30.3% below the national figure and 47% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,351 a month, 3.9% below the national figure, or roughly $16,212 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.9% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 58.4% 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.
