Home values above the national median

Clinton's home values cluster in a real, disclosed $446,000-$464,000 range this pass, above other Prince George's County Tier B markets in this dataset, even as price-per-square-foot ($250) ran down 6.0% year-over-year.

An above-national-median property tax rate

Clinton's median effective property tax rate ran 1.45% per Ownwell this pass -- meaningfully above the 1.02% national median and Maryland's own 1.21% statewide median -- producing a median annual tax bill of $4,927, more than double the national median tax bill.

A genuinely affluent median household income

Clinton's median household income ($124,803, 2024) runs genuinely above both the national median and Prince George's County's own $101,798 median -- a real, distinct affluence within this Maryland batch.

Maryland's layered state-plus-county income tax

Maryland's 2%-6.5% state income tax applies statewide, and Prince George's County additionally levies a real 3.2% local piggyback rate on the same return -- one of Maryland's higher county rates.
