What it’s like
The place. Clinton is a community in Prince George's County, Maryland, where most homes are lived in by their owners and household incomes run above the county's. Residents tend to be somewhat older than in much of the country, and poverty is less common than in many places. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn hot by July, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Many residents work in government, professional and business services, schools, hospitals and social care, or in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the larger workplaces in Clinton are Medstar Southern Maryland Hospital Center, Walmart and Futurecare Health and Management. Commutes are long, and a good number of people work from home. Across Prince George's County, unemployment has eased over the past year, though the number of jobs slipped slightly last year.
Things to do. The museums and monuments of Washington are a longer drive away. The Smithsonian Institution is the best known, and the National Mall, a park lined with memorials, sits at the heart of the city. The National Museum of Natural History is another museum within that same longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Clinton’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Prince George's County and the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV metro.
