What it’s like
The place. Quantico is a very small community in Wicomico County, on Maryland's Eastern Shore, with far fewer residents than most towns. Typical home values here sit below what many buyers across Maryland would expect to pay. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Wicomico County, the largest workplaces include Wicomico County Public Schools, TidalHealth Peninsula Regional and Salisbury University. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year ago, and the county has a few more jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Salisbury Zoo is a short drive away, as is the Salisbury University Arboretum, a botanical garden. For time outdoors, Le Compte Wildlife Management Area is also a short drive away, and the Nanticoke River is a longer drive for those who like to be near the water.

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 Wicomico County and the Salisbury, MD-DE metro.
