5% above the national average

Baltimore area index 104.5, where 100 is the national average.

Baltimore pairs career-defining nursing at Johns Hopkins with harbor life in Fells Point and Canton—brick rowhouses, cobblestone streets, weekend crab feasts. Cost of living runs about 5% above the national average: a thin premium for a port city that works hard and eats well.
