Paramount-Long Meadow CDP, MD in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Paramount-Long Meadow CDP is a small town in Maryland, with 2,660 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #252 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 53% of them. The median age here is 42.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.
Households in Paramount-Long Meadow CDP earn a median of $101,763 a year, 29.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 7% below 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 1.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Paramount-Long Meadow CDP is valued at $340,500, 12.2% above the national figure and 14% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,421 a month, 1.1% above the national figure, or roughly $17,052 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.8% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 83.9% 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.
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.
