Edgewood CDP, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Edgewood CDP is a small city in Maryland, with 25,170 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #57 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 36.2 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 Edgewood CDP earn a median of $86,355 a year, 10% above the national figure of $78,538 and 21% 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 10.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Edgewood CDP is valued at $234,700, 22.6% below the national figure and 41% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,435 a month, 2.1% above the national figure, or roughly $17,220 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.9% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
