Fulton CDP, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Fulton CDP is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 5,946 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #185 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 65% of them. The median age here is 37.7 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 Fulton CDP earn a median of $240,219 a year, 205.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 120% above 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 0.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fulton CDP is valued at $847,700, 179.4% above the national figure and 113% above the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $3,052 a month, 117.1% above the national figure, or roughly $36,624 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.2% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 83.1% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
