Westphalia CDP, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Westphalia CDP is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 12,020 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #120 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 77% of them. The median age here is 39.8 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 Westphalia CDP earn a median of $158,055 a year, 101.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 45% above the $109,026 median for the 332 Maryland cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Westphalia CDP is valued at $478,200, 57.6% above the national figure and 20% above the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,947 a month, 38.5% above the national figure, or roughly $23,364 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.8% 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 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 92.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
