Darlington is a tiny town located in the state of Maryland. With a population of 398 people and two associated neighborhoods, Darlington is the 259th largest community in Maryland. Darlington has an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic towns.

Also of interest is that Darlington has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 11.38% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

In addition, Darlington is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates", which are people who are not only wealthy and employed in professional occupations, but highly educated to boot. Urban sophisticates have urbane tastes - whether they reside in a big or small city, a suburb, or a little town. Urban sophisticates support bookstores, quality clothing stores, enjoy luxury travel, and in big cities, they are truly the patrons of the arts, attending and supporting institutions such as opera, symphony, ballet, and theatre.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Darlington has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Darlington a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

As is often the case in a small town, Darlington doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

The overall education level of Darlington citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 33.45% of adults in Darlington have at least a bachelor's degree, and the average American community has 21.84%.

The per capita income in Darlington in 2022 was $48,196, which is middle income relative to Maryland, and wealthy relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $192,784 for a family of four.
