Laytonsville, MD population, income and ZIP codes

Laytonsville town is a very small community in Maryland, with 750 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #361 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 32% of them. The median age here is 46.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Laytonsville town earn a median of $239,444 a year, 204.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 120% above the $109,026 median for the 332 Maryland cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 4.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Laytonsville town is valued at $1,050,300, 246.2% above the national figure and 164% above the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,232 a month, 12.4% below the national figure, or roughly $14,784 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 6.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 94.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
