Perry Hall CDP, MD in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Perry Hall CDP is a small city in Maryland, with 28,908 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #46 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 39.4 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 Perry Hall CDP earn a median of $104,709 a year, 33.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 4% 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 5.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Perry Hall CDP is valued at $332,000, 9.4% above the national figure and 16% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,604 a month, 14.1% above the national figure, or roughly $19,248 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.4% 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. 77.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
