Suitland, MD population, income and ZIP codes

Suitland CDP is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 24,667 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #58 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 38.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Suitland CDP earn a median of $71,886 a year, 8.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 34% 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 12.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Suitland CDP is valued at $312,600, 3% above the national figure and 21% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,684 a month, 19.8% above the national figure, or roughly $20,208 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.1% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 37.9% 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.

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.
