Though for the 1990 to 2010 U.S. censuses the CDP was entirely located within Middle Township,[9][10] a small section at the southern edge of the community, located in Lower Township, is sometimes called Rio Grande.[11][12] For the 2020 U.S. Census the boundary was redrawn so that portions of Lower Township were included in the Rio Grande CDP.[13]
It is part of the Ocean City Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the 2010 United States Census, the CDP's population was 2,670.[14]
