The largest of Maryland's 443 recorded places, ranked by population — 5,328,834 people across the state's towns and cities.
The essentials
Baltimore is the largest place we record in Maryland, with 585,708 residents. The three largest together hold 14% of the 5,328,834 people counted across the state's recorded towns and cities. That total sums listed places rather than measuring the state itself, so treat it as coverage, never as an official population.

Figures are the latest available in
GeoNames (CC BY 4.0), which draws on national censuses of varying dates — treat them as recent, not same-year. Country totals are
UN World Population Prospects 2024 (medium variant) where the UN lists the country separately; the handful it reports under a parent state keep a GeoNames figure and are marked as such.
