Living in Cambridge



Cambridge is a somewhat small coastal city (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Maryland. With a population of 13,129 people and five associated neighborhoods, Cambridge is the 68th largest community in Maryland. Cambridge has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Cambridge, where the median household income is $44,114.00.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 7.85% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Cambridge is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.

As is often the case in a small city, Cambridge doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

The percentage of adults in Cambridge who are college-educated is close to the national average for all communities of 21.84%: 20.13% of the adults in Cambridge have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.

The per capita income in Cambridge in 2018 was $27,408, which is low income relative to Maryland, and lower middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $109,632 for a family of four. However, Cambridge contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
