The short answer

Camp Springs is home to 22,544 people. Median household income is $120,456 a year and median rent is $2,231 a month, 22.2% of income (a ratio of two medians, not any one household's burden). Rent pressure is lighter than in most places. The median home is valued at $415,000, about 3.5x annual median household income.

What sets Camp Springs apart is how far household money goes. Money left after rent is $93,500, against $65,300 in its closest peers. Also notable: 40 National Park Service sites lie within 60 miles, more than in 97% of places its size. It is the highest of 199 Maryland places we track.
