This study employs data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) to examine housing cost burden in Prince George’s County from 2014 to 2023. Additionally, this study analyzes the County’s seven Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAs), which effectively illustrate suburban characteristics. As is typical of metropolitan regions, communities within Prince George’s County—both inside and outside the Capital Beltway—demonstrate distinct demographic, socioeconomic, and land use characteristics and patterns.
