Whaleyville CDP, MD in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Whaleyville CDP is a very small community in Maryland, with 179 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #452 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 15% of them. The median age here is 38.8 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 Whaleyville CDP earn a median of $81,771 a year, 4.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 25% below 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 10.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Whaleyville CDP is valued at $187,200, 38.3% below the national figure and 53% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 75.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
With 179 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Whaleyville CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Whaleyville CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
