Temple Hills CDP, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Temple Hills CDP is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 8,740 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #153 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 37.7 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 Temple Hills CDP earn a median of $70,097 a year, 10.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 36% 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 12% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Temple Hills CDP is valued at $340,800, 12.3% above the national figure and 14% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,743 a month, 24% above the national figure, or roughly $20,916 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.8% 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 4.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 36.6% 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.
