Lutherville CDP, MD in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Lutherville CDP is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 6,670 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #174 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 45.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Lutherville CDP earn a median of $119,214 a year, 51.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 9% above the $109,026 median for the 332 Maryland cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 5.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Lutherville CDP is valued at $425,200, 40.1% above the national figure and 7% above the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,428 a month, 1.6% above the national figure, or roughly $17,136 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.4% 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. 84% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
