What these numbers say together

Baltimore, MD (ZIP 21202) sits in Baltimore city within the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 36.8%. NCES lists 4 schools serving the area, 4 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $10,860. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $82,169, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $130,499 per worker (Census ZBP) — a high-wage local economy. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $82,818 per worker — about 26% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. FEMA has issued 22 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1971 — a high-frequency exposure profile. County Health Rankings reports 15,998 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. USDA's Food Environment Atlas shows a strong food retail environment in this county — only 4.5% of residents are low-access and grocery density is above the national county median. Maryland levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 5.75%); a household at the local median AGI of $82,169 would pay roughly $2,835/year before deductions. Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county lost $405,445,000 in net taxable income to other counties. Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: median household income $59,098, fair market rent of $2,190 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $191,563, up 1.3% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.

The two domains pull in different directions. Healthcare access reads strong, but the on-paper school count is on the lighter side — that’s less a quality signal and more a density one. Households here often look at districts a few ZIPs over for school choice while keeping their providers local.

  • Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($2,190/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 44% of median household income ($59,098, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
  • As a predominantly renter community (77% of occupied units, Census ACS), the 4 schools mapped here by NCES are especially relevant for families weighing the neighborhood.

One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 24.7%. Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
