What it’s like
The place. Deale is a small community where nearly everyone owns the home they live in, a good deal more than is usual across the country. Household incomes sit close to the county's, and few residents live below the poverty line. The population is older than in many places, and a good share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with a modest amount of snow, and summers turn properly warm, with rain spread through the year.
Work. Residents work in the building trades, professional and business services, schools, hospitals and social care, and government. Commutes are long, and a fair number of people work from home. Across Anne Arundel County, the largest workplaces include Anne Arundel County Public Schools, Northrop Grumman Systems and Anne Arundel Medical Center, and the county added jobs last year.
Things to do. The nearest well-known destinations are in Washington, a longer drive away. The National Mall is a long park lined with monuments and museums, and the Smithsonian Institution is one of the best known museum groups in the country. The National Air and Space Museum is another museum within that same longer drive.
