ZIP 20755 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 20755 is a mid-size town in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, with 10,477 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #177 of 477 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 27.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 ZIP 20755 earn a median of $102,886 a year, 31% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 4.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 20755 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $2,380 a month, 69.3% above the national figure, or roughly $28,560 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 0.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 27.2 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.

The Census withheld home value for ZIP 20755 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.
