Strong in places, weak in others. Its standout strength is incomes: the median household earns $129K. At B overall, Kingsville ranks 142nd of 259 in Maryland. Nationally, it does better than nearly three fifths of U.S. towns. The trade-off is schools: its public schools trail 76% of Maryland towns on state tests and graduation. A typical home there costs about $541K, 5.4 years of the Baltimore metro’s $99K median household income. Walkability is weaker too (C−).
