Lake Arbor, MD population, income and ZIP codes

Lake Arbor CDP is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 14,932 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #96 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 43.7 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 Lake Arbor CDP earn a median of $128,616 a year, 63.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 18% 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 4.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lake Arbor CDP is valued at $457,800, 50.9% above the national figure and 15% above the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,293 a month, 63.1% above the national figure, or roughly $27,516 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.4% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 64.8% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
