Household Median Income by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Baltimore Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The western suburbs around Ellicott City and Columbia display the highest household median incomes in the metro, consistently exceeding $125,000, forming a broad high-income corridor extending southwest from Baltimore's urban core. In stark contrast, central Baltimore zip codes cluster at the lowest end of the income spectrum, with several areas falling below $30,000—creating one of the sharpest intra-metro income gradients in the region within just a few miles. Northern suburbs near Towson and the northeastern zip codes generally fall in the $80,000–$100,000 range, serving as a middle-income transition zone between the affluent western periphery and the lower-income urban center.
