Easton town, MD in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Easton town is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 17,202 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #83 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 45.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Easton town earn a median of $73,460 a year, 6.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 33% 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 12.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Easton town is valued at $348,400, 14.8% above the national figure and 12% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,177 a month, 16.3% below the national figure, or roughly $14,124 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.2% 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 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 59.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
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.
