Perryville town, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Perryville town is a small town in Maryland, with 4,425 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #215 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 60% of them. The median age here is 39 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Perryville town earn a median of $75,543 a year, 3.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 31% 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 13.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Perryville town is valued at $267,700, 11.8% below the national figure and 33% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,053 a month, 25.1% below the national figure, or roughly $12,636 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.7% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 67.5% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
