The latest Census Bureau estimates show most of the state's population growth of 44,000 last year was in Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Howard, Montgomery, and Prince George's counties.
The city posted a net loss to the tune of more than 300 people who decided to move out. The loss is offset, however, if you consider the population increased by about 1,000 from April 2010 to July 1, 2013.
Most of the declines were in rural areas in western Maryland and the eastern shore. Allegany County had the biggest losses.

I see another tax hike. In the city, you pay city and county tax. If the city is getting smaller, then that is less tax revenue. A shrinking city tax is looming around.
ReplyDeleteI pay $1400/year in county taxes..In the city that would double..who the heck has over $200/month just for property taxes..If my house gets annexed in then I am moving and hope I can find someone willing to live in the city limits...
ReplyDeleteResidents of Salisbury are mostly part time because of the colleges and ECI.
ReplyDelete11:21
ReplyDeleteThat is really not true for either one. Sure ECI has a minor effect on residency (but a major effect on crime), but SU students almost never change their residency to Salisbury/Fruitland.
I know another 12 leaving!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Wicomico Co should pay the 10 million they owe the city. Then their is 11:07 bragging about how his taxes are lower than the city. Gee wonder why. Time they assessed these people for what they owe Salisbury.
ReplyDeleteThis is about Baltimore metro area, geniuses. Salisbury city is growing rapidly. 56% since 2000.
ReplyDelete56%? who does your math?
ReplyDeleteIt's grown by about a third, still sizable, but don't go nuts.
