With an annual household income ranked the lowest among its neighboring cities in the rest of the state of Maryland, Baltimore’s 120,000 residents live below the poverty threshold. In addition to this, the cost of living in the city is high, which causes additional burden to make ends meet. Since time is also a valued commodity, allowing people extra hours for leisure or family, the city’s traffic and public transport woes diminishes this as long hours spent on the road travelling to and from work takes its own toll on its residents’ quality of life.

Baltimore is beautiful, it has scenic views, and it also has an incredibly high crime rate. Shockingly, there were 8,879 robberies reported back in 2017 alone, and that doesn’t include the other kinds of violence that the city deals with every day. While robbery tops the list of felonies, homicide comes second with 342 occurrences back in 2017 as well, meaning almost 1 person was killed every single day of the year.
