Why Lexington Park runs below the Maryland average

Construction wages in Lexington Park average $29.75 per hour against $31.34 statewide. Lexington Park sits below the Maryland average because the statewide figure is pulled up by higher-wage metros elsewhere in the state.

Labor is about 38% of the installed cost on this type of work, and it is the part that actually moves between markets. Materials are priced by national manufacturers and barely shift, which is why the gap between metros is narrower than wage differences alone suggest.
