Mitchellville CDP, MD in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Mitchellville CDP is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 11,325 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #124 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 77% of them. The median age here is 47.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Mitchellville CDP earn a median of $152,795 a year, 94.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 40% above the $109,026 median for the 332 Maryland cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 2.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Mitchellville CDP is valued at $490,400, 61.6% above the national figure and 23% above the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,372 a month, 68.7% above the national figure, or roughly $28,464 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.6% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 93.7% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
