Milford Mill CDP, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Milford Mill CDP is a small city in Maryland, with 31,939 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #38 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 36.5 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 Milford Mill CDP earn a median of $76,676 a year, 2.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% 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 7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Milford Mill CDP is valued at $269,900, 11% below the national figure and 32% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,576 a month, 12.1% above the national figure, or roughly $18,912 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.7% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 44.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
