Detmold, MD population, income and ZIP codes

Detmold CDP is a very small community in Maryland, with 115 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #479 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 10% of them. The median age here is 66.4 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 Detmold CDP earn a median of $50,951 a year, 35.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 53% below the $109,026 median for the 332 Maryland cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 41.7% 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 Detmold CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 9.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 66.4 puts Detmold CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 115 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Detmold CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Detmold 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.
