UPPER MARLBORO, MD- The Prince George’s County Planning Department of The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) released today a new report, Population, Housing, and Economic Survey of Prince George’s County, identifying a 5.3% growth in the County’s total population, a 4.4% increase in the County’s senior population, and 4.5% growth with individuals of Hispanic ethnicity based on historical data and trends from 2010-2019. In addition, the median household income increased more than 23% and the median value of owned homes in Prince George’s County rose from about $286,000 in 2010 to over $334,000 in 2019. Through raw data with accompanying tables, charts, and graphs, M-NCPPC outlines various topics including general demographics, population growth, housing and land occupancy, social data and indicators, and financial and economic trends.

“Much of the data from this comprehensive report on the population of Prince George’s County is derived from Census information,” said James Cannistra, Chief, Information Management Division. “The report focuses on data and trends from the last decade and provides an established format as new 2020 Census data and information becomes available. The next major update to the publication is projected for 2022 after the complete 2020 Census data is published and made available for analysis.”
