When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.

The city

The job is in Baltimore, MD. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Baltimore compares. Among the 80 largest places in Maryland, Baltimore is #1 by population, #77 for household income (#1 = highest), #6 for rent (#1 = cheapest), #65 for homeownership (#1 = highest). Its county, Baltimore, is #4 of 24 counties for average pay ($82,818).

The place in numbers

Baltimore has 573,243 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 9.2% of the population of Maryland. It covers 81 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 7,082 people per square mile. The median age is 36.2, 8% younger than the state median (36.2 against 39.4).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,331 a month (rent plus utilities), 22% below the state median ($1,331 against $1,705). Over a year that is 25.7% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $229,600, which is 3.7 times the median household income ($62,177); a ratio under 4 usually means ownership is within reach for many households. 47.5% of households own their home, 30% below the state average (47.5% against 67.6%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD metropolitan area has 1,356,680 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $59,070 a year, 16% above the national median ($59,070 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (159,220 jobs, median $49,590); management (123,580 jobs, median $128,630); transportation and material moving (113,300 jobs, median $44,720). The area is most specialised in life, physical, and social science (1.5 times) and computer and mathematical (1.4 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($128,630) and computer and mathematical ($128,330). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Baltimore was 4.6%. 63.1% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Baltimore; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 55.5% drive alone, 10.3% use public transit, 5.6% walk, 17.8% work from home. 18.8% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 22% below the state average (18.8% against 24.2%).

People and education

36.1% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 17% below the state share (36.1% against 43.5%). 9.3% of residents were born outside the United States, 44% below the state share (9.3% against 16.6%). The poverty rate is 19.8%, 109% above the state rate (19.8% against 9.4%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 77°F (25.0°C), and the coolest is Jan at 30°F (-1.2°C). About 1,161 mm (46 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Jun is the wettest month (117 mm) and Jan the driest (70 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Rosedale (6 miles, rent 4% higher); Arbutus (6 miles, similar rent); Dundalk (7 miles, rent 11% higher); Towson (7 miles, rent 33% higher). Rent differences are against Baltimore; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
