What it’s like
The place. Solomons is a small waterfront community in Calvert County, Maryland, where the land narrows toward the Patuxent River and the Chesapeake Bay. Few households here live below the poverty line, and typical home values are well above what most of the country sees. Winters are cold but not severe, with highs staying above freezing in January, and summers turn hot by July.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with government, professional and business services, and the building trades close behind. Across Calvert County, the largest workplaces include Calvert County Public Schools, Constellation and Calvert Memorial Hospital. A four-year degree is common among adults here, and the typical commute is a fairly short drive. Unemployment across the county has eased compared with a year earlier, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. The Calvert Marine Museum is in or beside town, and the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum is a short drive away. For time outdoors, Calvert Cliffs State Park is a short drive away, a protected area along the bay. A longer drive brings you to the Potomac River and to George Washington Birthplace National Monument.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Solomons’ 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 Calvert County and the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV metro.
