Baltimore’s economy is growing faster than almost anywhere else in Maryland

Don’t look now, but Baltimore City’s economy is booming. Charm City’s economic output topped $50 billion last year, according to data released Thursday by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis measuring real gross domestic product in each county in the United States. That’s a 5.9% increase between 2021 and 2022 in GDP, which measures the dollar value of all goods and services produced in a region. It is generally used to gauge the health of an economy.
