The buttcrack of Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Severn is more of a zip-code that spans drastically different parts of the county than an actual town. It is mostly upper-middle-class, with one low-income/section 8 area (Pioneer City/Meade Village), some very expensive neighborhoods with $1M-$3M homes in Arundel Forest near Ft. Meade and near Dicus Mill Rd close to Gambrills/Millersville, a few working-class/blue-collar and older neighborhoods with lots of conservative Trumpers off of Quarterfield Rd, and a handful of solidly middle-class neighborhoods.
No, Severn is not “two steps below Arnold and four steps below Severna Park,” and whoever thinks that must have never been outside of Anne Arundel County before. When you see places in Maryland that are actually very rich, like Bethesda, Potomac, Chevy Chase, Kensington, Western Howard County, and even Davidsonville in Anne Arundel County, Severn and Severna Park/Arnold look a lot more similar to each other. Outside of the waterfront strip, Severna Park/Arnold is mostly middle-class and upper-middle-class neighborhoods, with a few $1M+ home and working-class neighborhoods sprinkled here and there, which is basically also what Severn is.
Because Severn is mostly a residential zip-code, nothing is really in Severn. However, because it is widespread, the different areas of Severn are quite close to other areas that have lots to do.

Person 1: “Hey, want to go to the Arundel Mills Mall in Severn?”
Person 2: “Dude, that’s in Hanover, not Severn.”
Severn is a unique and diverse area with a base of affluent/white-collar professionals who work in Fort Meade/Washington DC/Baltimore, a strong population of middle-class families, and a significant minority of working-class and low-income residents.
