Kemp Mill CDP, MD in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Kemp Mill CDP is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 14,437 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #100 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 39.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Kemp Mill CDP earn a median of $160,750 a year, 104.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 47% above 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 9.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Kemp Mill CDP is valued at $567,300, 87% above the national figure and 43% above the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,105 a month, 49.7% above the national figure, or roughly $25,260 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.7% 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. 84.3% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
