Would you guess that Maryland is one of the most dangerous states in the nation?

  • Baltimore is especially bad. The city has 583,588 residents.
  • There were 7,041 violent crimes in 2022.
  • Not only is that number worrying on its own, but that’s a crime rate of 12 per 1,000 people.

Baltimore, Maryland

Property crimes were a huge concern as well, with 16,542 property crime cases in 2022. Considering the large number of crimes in the city, it may be safe to say that not much has changed since the times of The Wire. The city still has a lot of cleaning up to do and a lot of work to be done to keep crime down.

Did you know...

  • Even though it is spread across five time zones, the entire country of China is set to Beijing time. Having a single time zone in the United States would certainly make things easier. Currently, the USA is spread across six, but a single time zone would make things a little wonky in Alaska and Hawai'i.
  • The surface area of Pluto is just under 6.5 million square miles. The CIA Factbook lists the area of Russia to be just over 6.6 million square miles. That makes Russia bigger than Pluto (and much closer to visit). Are you still very upset that Pluto isn’t a planet anymore?
  • You've heard of the phrase "wanderlust," but do you know the German word "fernweh"? It means "far sickness" or an intensely strong urge to travel. The next time you feel the need to head out on a road trip, you've got a case of fernweh. And the only cure is to travel somewhere new!
  • Jet lag is worse when you're traveling from west to east. That's because the changes in time zones become not only more physically apparent on your body, but they are also more culturally apparent. If restaurants close at 10pm on the East Coast, you'll just be getting hungry since it will feel like 7pm on your West Coast-adjusted body.
  • Minnesota might say that it's the "Land of 10,000 Lakes," but Canada has it beat. The country as a whole has over three million lakes. That means Canada has 60% of the world's total number of lakes within its borders. It must seem like paradise for people who like to fish or boat!
