Pylesville, Maryland (zip code 21132) is classified as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. In 2022, the white population constitutes 96% of the total population. The population has increased from 2,762 in 2010 to 3,724 in 2022. The median income in 2022 is $124,008, which is above the national average.
From 2013 to 2022, Pylesville has maintained its status as a Low Diversity, White Majority community. The white population has consistently remained above 96%. There have been no significant changes in diversity categories, indicating a stable racial composition. Minor increases in diversity include a rise in residents identifying as two or more races from 0% in 2013 to 2% in 2022, a consistent Black population of 1-2% since 2013, and the appearance of a Hispanic population at 1% in 2022.
The median income in Pylesville has shown an upward trend, increasing from $111,727 in 2013 to $124,008 in 2022, with fluctuations including a peak of $140,167 in 2021.

Pylesville's demographic stability contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity. The United States has seen a decrease in the white population from 72.4% in 2010 to 61.6% in 2020 according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The area's high median income and population growth suggest it may be part of a trend of affluent suburban or exurban areas attracting residents.
The stability in racial demographics combined with economic growth may indicate several possibilities: the area may have specific characteristics that attract white residents, there might be limited housing diversity, or the community might be part of a pattern of de facto segregation in housing and community development.
Pylesville has experienced significant economic growth and population increase over the past decade while remaining a Low Diversity, White Majority community. The subtle increases in diversity may indicate the beginning of a long-term trend towards greater diversity, but this would require monitoring over an extended period to confirm.
