Lusby CDP, MD in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Lusby CDP is a small town in Maryland, with 2,161 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #275 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 48% of them. The median age here is 32.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Lusby CDP earn a median of $130,543 a year, 66.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 20% 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 4.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Lusby CDP is valued at $327,500, 7.9% above the national figure and 18% below the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,193 a month, 15.1% below the national figure, or roughly $14,316 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 82% 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.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
