Silver Hill, MD population, income and ZIP codes

Silver Hill CDP is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 5,068 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #202 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 62% of them. The median age here is 43 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 Silver Hill CDP earn a median of $61,566 a year, 21.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 44% below 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 13.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Silver Hill CDP is valued at $283,900, 6.4% below the national figure and 29% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,569 a month, 11.6% above the national figure, or roughly $18,828 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 30.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 18.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.
