What it’s like
The place. Fallston is a small community in Harford County where nearly everyone lives in a home they own, and the typical home is worth a good deal. Household incomes run well above the county's, relatively few residents live below the poverty line, and residents are older than in many American towns. A large majority of adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents work mostly in professional and business services, in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, and in government. Across Harford County, some of the largest workplaces are Harford County Public Schools, Upper Chesapeake Medical Center and Harford Community College. Commutes are long, and a fair number of people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, Ladew Topiary Gardens is a botanical garden, and Rocks State Park is a protected area for walking and time outdoors. A longer drive takes you to Baltimore, with the National Aquarium and the Baltimore Museum of Art. Winters are cold and summers warm, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow across the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Fallston’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 Harford County and the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD metro.
