North Potomac is a census-designated place and an unincorporated area in Montgomery County, Maryland, United States. It has a population of approximately 25,000 and a median household income of nearly $160,000. About 55 percent of the population speaks English at home, while nearly 27 percent speaks Asian/Pacific Islander. The community is located close to Shady Grove Hospital and the I-270 Technology Corridor, and is about 21 miles from Washington, D.C.
History
In 1970, the United States Census Bureau considered North Potomac an unincorporated place that was part of two county subdivisions.[1] North Potomac had been part of the Darnestown and Travilah areas.[2] In late 1989, the U.S. Postal Service approved the North Potomac name for a region surrounded by the Montgomery County communities of Darnestown, Travilah, Gaithersburg and Rockville—and the Zip code used by most of North Potomac, 20878, is also used by Gaithersburg.[3] North Potomac is bordered roughly by Maryland Route 28 (Darnestown Road), Travilah Road and Jones Lane, and is about 21 miles (34 km) from Washington, D.C.[4][5] For 1990, North Potomac began being listed by the Census Bureau as a census-designated place, but census records show no data for 1980.[6]
Geography
North Potomac is located in west central Montgomery County, northeast of the Potomac River and adjacent to Gaithersburg and Rockville.[Note 1] A stream called Muddy Branch runs through North Potomac and is a tributary of the Potomac River.[8] As an unincorporated area, North Potomac's boundaries are not officially defined. However, in addition to being a census designated place, it is also listed by the United States Geological Survey as a populated place located at 39°5′50″N 77°14′3″W / 39.09722°N 77.23417°W (39.097206, −77.234213).[9] According to the United States Census Bureau, North Potomac has a total area of 6.6 square miles (17 km2), virtually all land.[4] Between the 1990 and 2000 census, North Potomac gained and lost territory. The loss was caused when a portion of the North Potomac territory, plus Potomac territory, was used to create the Travilah census designated place.[10]

This sector excludes establishments primarily engaged in providing a range of day-to-day office administrative services, such as financial planning, billing and recordkeeping, personnel, and physical distribution and logistics. These establishments are classified in Sector 56, Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services.[22]
- ^ The Health Care and Social Assistance sector comprises establishments providing health care and social assistance for individuals. The sector includes both health care and social assistance because it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the boundaries of these two activities. The industries in this sector are arranged on a continuum starting with those establishments providing medical care exclusively, continuing with those providing health care and social assistance, and finally finishing with those providing only social assistance. The services provided by establishments in this sector are delivered by trained professionals. All industries in the sector share this commonality of process, namely, labor inputs of health practitioners or social workers with the requisite expertise. Many of the industries in the sector are defined based on the educational degree held by the practitioners included in the industry. Excluded from this sector are aerobic classes in Subsector 713, Amusement, Gambling and Recreation Industries and nonmedical diet and weight reducing centers in Subsector 812, Personal and Laundry Services.

The administrative and management activities performed by establishments in this sector are typically on a contract or fee basis. These activities may also be performed by establishments that are part of the company or enterprise. However, establishments involved in administering, overseeing, and managing other establishments of the company or enterprise, are classified in Sector 55, Management of Companies and Enterprises. Establishments in Sector 55 normally undertake the strategic and organizational planning and decision making role of the company or enterprise. Government establishments engaged in administering, overseeing, and managing governmental programs are classified in Sector 92, Public Administration.[22]
