It’s pretty much culturally the same. Very Baltimore white-flight oriented, pretty Republican, and very “Maryland.” A lot of the people in Severna Park are originally from areas like Glen Burnie, Pasadena, and Millersville and moved to Severna Park to signify that they “made it big.” Severna Park is seen as “wealthy” because it’s surrounded by a bunch of very working-class areas. Next to southwestern Montgomery County and even Western Howard County, Severna Park looks very working-class when you exclude the waterfront strip, which is only a minority of the homes. [/quote]

While I agree, it’s in central Maryland, I disagree that it’s very working class. The median income for Severna Park is $139k. I don’t think that that is working class. In comparison the median income in Bethesda is $159k. So while more, I don’t think significantly more. While there are pockets that I would describe as working class, I think those are fewer than the more solidly upper middle class and upper class. I agree that with proximity to DC, Mont Co is more cosmopolitan. My experience in Severna Park was that there were very few people who were originally from Glen Burnie or other similar areas. Not to say that I’m a big Severna Park fan. I currently live inside the beltway in Mont Co. [/quote]
