How many people move from Bangor to Baltimore
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) estimates that about 10 people a year (±14) moved from Penobscot County, ME, home to Bangor, to Baltimore city, MD, home to Baltimore. The margin of error is as large as the estimate, so read it as a handful of households rather than a count. Too few went the other way to estimate. Movers from Penobscot County make up 0.0% of the 36,766 people a year who moved into Baltimore city from another county or state.
At state level, the 2024 survey counts about 390 people a year (±327) moving from Maine to Maryland and about 916 people a year (±777) from Maryland to Maine — a net gain for Maine of about 526 people a year.
