Secretary, MD population, income and ZIP codes

Secretary town is a very small community in Maryland, with 598 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #370 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 31% of them. The median age here is 37.1 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 Secretary town earn a median of $68,333 a year, 13% below the national figure of $78,538 and 37% below the $109,026 median for the 332 Maryland cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 9.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Secretary town is valued at $172,100, 43.3% below the national figure and 57% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,135 a month, 19.3% below the national figure, or roughly $13,620 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 67.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 598 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Secretary town against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
