Parkville CDP, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Parkville CDP is a small city in Maryland, with 30,423 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #42 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 38.4 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 Parkville CDP earn a median of $78,405 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 28% below the $109,026 median for the 332 Maryland cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 8.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Parkville CDP is valued at $251,100, 17.2% below the national figure and 37% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,471 a month, 4.6% above the national figure, or roughly $17,652 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.5% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 63.1% 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.
