What it’s like
The place. Edmonston is a small town in Prince George's County, Maryland, with a population that is modest even by the standards of the area. Household incomes in town run below the county's, and homes here carry a typical value that is well within reach of the Washington region's market. Winters are cold, though milder than in the colder parts of the country, and summers turn hot. Snow falls on some days each winter, and rain and melted snow come steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, government and the building trades. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than you might expect near a major city, and a typical commute takes a good while. Across Prince George's County, some of the largest workplaces are Prince George's County Public Schools, the University of Maryland-College Park and the U.S. Census Bureau.
Things to do. Washington's main sights are a short drive away. The National Mall is a long park lined with monuments and museums, and the Smithsonian Institution and the National Air and Space Museum are both museums within a short drive. The Lincoln Memorial is also a short drive away, among the best known of the capital's memorials.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Edmonston’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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.
