Scaggsville, MD population, income and ZIP codes

Scaggsville CDP is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 10,441 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #136 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 74% of them. The median age here is 44.1 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 Scaggsville CDP earn a median of $183,125 a year, 133.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 68% above 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 2.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Scaggsville CDP is valued at $629,800, 107.6% above the national figure and 59% above the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $3,205 a month, 128% above the national figure, or roughly $38,460 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 90.8% 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. 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
