Fairmount Heights, MD population, income and ZIP codes

Fairmount Heights town is a small town in Maryland, with 1,429 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #304 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 43% of them. The median age here is 39.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Fairmount Heights town earn a median of $92,321 a year, 17.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 15% 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 18.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fairmount Heights town is valued at $335,200, 10.5% above the national figure and 16% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 85.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

The Census withheld gross rent for Fairmount Heights town 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.
