SNAP participation rates in the Baltimore metro area exhibit a stark core-periphery pattern, with the highest concentrations—exceeding 35-50%—clustered in Baltimore City's west and northwest zip codes, while surrounding suburban areas in Howard County near Columbia and Ellicott City, as well as northern Baltimore County near Towson, generally fall below 5-10%. A secondary band of moderate SNAP usage (15-25%) extends south and east of the city center, suggesting a gradient of economic need radiating outward from the urban core. The outermost zip codes in the metro's northern and northeastern fringes consistently register among the lowest rates, underscoring the sharp socioeconomic divide between the city and its exurban periphery.
