Linthicum CDP, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Linthicum CDP is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 10,545 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #131 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 39.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Linthicum CDP earn a median of $122,424 a year, 55.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 12% above 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 2.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Linthicum CDP is valued at $368,800, 21.6% above the national figure and 7% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,901 a month, 35.2% above the national figure, or roughly $22,812 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.6% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 84.7% 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. 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.
