Trappe town, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Trappe town is a small town in Maryland, with 1,112 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #322 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 40% of them. The median age here is 35.1 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 Trappe town earn a median of $64,231 a year, 18.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 41% below the $109,026 median for the 332 Maryland cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 10.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Trappe town is valued at $243,600, 19.7% below the national figure and 39% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,360 a month, 3.3% below the national figure, or roughly $16,320 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.4% 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 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 58% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

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.
