Leonardtown town, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Leonardtown town is a small town in Maryland, with 4,712 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #208 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 61% of them. The median age here is 35 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 Leonardtown town earn a median of $148,276 a year, 88.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 36% above the $109,026 median for the 332 Maryland cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 2.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Leonardtown town is valued at $528,100, 74.1% above the national figure and 33% above the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,793 a month, 27.5% above the national figure, or roughly $21,516 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.5% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 55.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters.
