Founded way back in 1729, Baltimore sits in close proximity to the Chesapeake Bay, about an hour’s drive from Washington, D.C., and two hours from Philadelphia.

It has around 570,000 residents, this bustling east coast city is Maryland’s biggest, and about 2.4 million people live in the whole area around Baltimore.

Most of the people who live here are younger, with an average age of about 35 — three years younger than the national average.

Baltimore covers an area of 92 square miles, which is about the same as Toledo, Ohio, and less than half the size of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
