Walkersville town, MD in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Walkersville town is a mid-size town in Maryland, with 6,352 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #179 of 536 ranked by population — larger than 66% of them. The median age here is 43.1 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 Walkersville town earn a median of $137,218 a year, 74.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 26% 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 2.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Walkersville town is valued at $442,300, 45.8% above the national figure and 11% above the $397,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,390 a month, 1.1% below the national figure, or roughly $16,680 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.2% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 86.8% 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.
