It is part of the Ocean City Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the United States 2000 Census, the CDP population was 9,064.

In 2008, residents discovered that copper piping had been stolen from under several homes in the area. It was later found that much of the piping was corroding due to large amounts of water seeping through fissures in the disintegrating roads, that are finally under repair.
