Wilson-Conococheague, MD population, income and ZIP codes

Wilson-Conococheague CDP is a small town in Maryland, with 1,614 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #297 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 44% of them. The median age here is 33.8 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 Wilson-Conococheague CDP earn a median of $60,258 a year, 23.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 45% 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 17.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wilson-Conococheague CDP is valued at $225,300, 25.7% below the national figure and 43% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,606 a month, 14.2% above the national figure, or roughly $19,272 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 32% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 55.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Wilson-Conococheague CDP is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 32% of median income while homes cost only 3.7× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price.

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.
