Hyattsville city, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hyattsville city is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 20,861 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #67 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 35.2 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 Hyattsville city earn a median of $94,231 a year, 20% above the national figure of $78,538 and 14% 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 10.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hyattsville city is valued at $463,500, 52.8% above the national figure and 17% above the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,831 a month, 30.2% above the national figure, or roughly $21,972 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.3% 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 4.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 48.7% 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.
