Barclay town, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Barclay town is a very small community in Maryland, with 203 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #442 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 17% of them. The median age here is 37.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Barclay town earn a median of $57,083 a year, 27.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 48% below the $109,026 median for the 332 Maryland cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 8.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Barclay town is valued at $256,800, 15.4% below the national figure and 35% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,637 a month, 16.4% above the national figure, or roughly $19,644 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 34.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 40.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
