    There are several beautiful areas to live in Maryland that provide people with a beautiful environment. On the other hand, some less appealing areas have difficulties that discourage individuals from relocating there.

    The existence of numerous elements, such as criminality, schooling, poverty, and the provision of recreational activities, influences whether a location is an unpleasant area to reside.

    Based on the collected data, the following are the top five worst places in Maryland.

    1. Elkton

    Maryland has a somewhat higher violent crime rate than that of the majority of the country, although it is not significantly more extraordinary. According to FBI statistics, about one in fifteen Elkton citizens has already been victimized at least once. Constructing a home there isn't the first thought that appears.

    Whenever it pertains to criminal activity, individuals have a one-in-103 possibility of becoming a target, including rapes, assaults, and murders. Elkton has the eighth-highest drop-out rates amongst Maryland individuals with considerable university experience. According to reports, the crime rate per 1,000 Elkton residents is 76.17.

    2. Cambridge

    Maryland is suffering from serious economic troubles, including an unemployment rate of 9.5 percent, the fourth-highest in the country. It has the fifth-lowest annual family income, at $43,120.

    Furthermore, the province has significantly higher crime rates than the average income. Robberies occur about one in 18.8 times in this area. Ray Rice shirts and mobile phones add up to a significant quantity of stolen goods.

    3. Bladensburg

    Considering this, powerful political operators and affluent politicians will not discover protection here. Bladensburg is one of the state's poorest cities, thanks to inadequate public schooling, higher crime rates, and a collapsing economy. You'd think that the adjacent metropolitan area would help Bladensburg's economy. With a 7.3 percent rate of unemployment and average earnings of $44,905.

    4. Baltimore

    Even after The Wire concluded its existence, Baltimore remains the fifth least appealing city in Maryland.

    The city of Baltimore has a population of 609,032. The rental includes several facilities. You can eat crab pancakes at the seaside or visit the National Aquarium in town.

    However, after you depart the touristic regions, life gets more complex. 8.3 percent of the inhabitants are jobless, and 21.2 percent are poor. A year with 348 homicides is 150 percent more than the state average.

    5. Salisbury

    Salisbury institutions are ranked significantly higher in terms of educational facilities, yet they are just somewhat safer. Salisbury has one of the lowest student-to-teacher ratios in the nation, which means children get a lot of one-on-one interaction.

    Conversely, the area's rate of unemployment is 8.3 percent, ranking seventh in Maryland. This country's average family income is $41,905, which is much lower than the national average. Properties in Salisbury generally cost $158,700.

    Upper Marlboro, MD was unfortunately and inadvertently omitted from the list as such is nothing more than a dressed up Bladensburg with a large Band-Aid covering up wounds. Let's see how long the dressing last.
