Greensboro town, MD in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Greensboro town is a small town in Maryland, with 2,563 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #258 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 51% of them. The median age here is 33.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Greensboro town earn a median of $44,934 a year, 42.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 59% below the $109,026 median for the 332 Maryland cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 21.2% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.
The typical owner-occupied home in Greensboro town is valued at $230,600, 24% below the national figure and 42% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $974 a month, 30.7% below the national figure, or roughly $11,688 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26% 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 5.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 51.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
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.
