Rosedale CDP, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Rosedale CDP is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 20,845 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #68 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 40.6 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 Rosedale CDP earn a median of $83,957 a year, 6.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 23% 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 10.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Rosedale CDP is valued at $264,900, 12.7% below the national figure and 33% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,392 a month, 1% below the national figure, or roughly $16,704 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.9% 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. 73.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

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.
