Zihlman CDP, MD in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Zihlman CDP is a very small community in Maryland, with 305 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #422 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 21% of them. The median age here is 46.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Zihlman CDP earn a median of $50,595 a year, 35.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 54% below 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 7.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Zihlman CDP is valued at $100,800, 66.8% below the national figure and 75% 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×, 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. 70.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
With 305 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Zihlman CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Zihlman 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.
