Median Age by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Maryland

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Eastern Shore and southern Maryland coastal areas display notable age polarization, with several zip codes reaching median ages above 55 alongside pockets dropping below 25, likely reflecting retirement communities adjacent to college towns or military installations. The central corridor spanning the Baltimore–Washington suburban belt clusters predominantly in the 35–45 range, consistent with younger working-age families in these high-density metro areas. Western Maryland's panhandle skews older overall, with scattered yellow-shaded zip codes exceeding 50, though a few notably younger pockets—particularly around the Frostburg/Cumberland area—suggest the influence of university populations.
