About Olney
Olney is a Maryland suburb of Washington, DC, located about 20 miles due north of the U.S. Capitol.
Olney is an unincorporated town in Montgomery County, Maryland. That means that while we have a strong sense of community, we do not have a local government, mayor, council, planning board, police department, etc. Rather, we receive those services from the county government.
The 2003 Census Update lists a population of 39,260 residing in 12,110 households. Thirty percent of our population is age 17 and under, and the average age is 34.7. The 2002 median household income was just under $105,000.
Olney is proud of its excellent schools, well-maintained neighborhoods, and strong community spirit.
