Housing Median Monthly Rent ($), by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Baltimore Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Median monthly rents in the Baltimore metro area exhibit a clear core-periphery pattern, with the lowest rents—often below $1,000—concentrated in Baltimore City's central and western zip codes, while suburban areas to the north and west, particularly around Columbia and Ellicott City, command rents in the $1,500–$2,000+ range. The highest rents, exceeding $2,500, cluster in the northeastern suburbs beyond Towson, suggesting strong demand in that corridor. A notable pocket of elevated rent also appears southwest of Ellicott City, contrasting sharply with adjacent lower-rent zip codes closer to the city center.
