Garrison CDP, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Garrison CDP is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 10,449 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #135 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 74% of them. The median age here is 35.3 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 Garrison CDP earn a median of $96,916 a year, 23.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 11% 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 10.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Garrison CDP is valued at $297,600, 1.9% below the national figure and 25% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,019 a month, 43.6% above the national figure, or roughly $24,228 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 49.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
