Greater Baltimore is a region comprised of Baltimore City and six surrounding counties (Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Cecil, Harford, and Howard) and encompasses more than 3,100 square miles of land. Nearly 2.7 million people reside in the region, making the area the 20th largest metro area in the United States.
The region is a key economic center for the State and home to several Fortune 500 companies, as well as numerous prominent small and medium-sized businesses. Residents enjoy a relatively high per capita income and employers find a highly-educated workforce.
Greater Baltimore still provides a relatively low cost of living, compared to other major metro areas, and it is well-connected to urban regions along the Northeast Corridor.
