Woodsboro town, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Woodsboro town is a small town in Maryland, with 1,394 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #305 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 43% of them. The median age here is 39.1 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 Woodsboro town earn a median of $115,583 a year, 47.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 6% above 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 13.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Woodsboro town is valued at $438,100, 44.4% above the national figure and 10% above the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $889 a month, 36.8% below the national figure, or roughly $10,668 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 9.2% 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 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.5% 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.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
