Baltimore is a city of about 570,000 people, with ZIP codes 212 covering the city and 210 and 211 the surrounding counties, at the center of a metro of 2.8 million that borders the Washington metro to the south. The city is rowhouses: Federal Hill, Canton, Fells Point, Hampden, Highlandtown and dozens of other neighborhoods of attached homes on dense residential routes, with the Roland Park and Guilford neighborhoods of detached homes in the north. Baltimore County wraps the city with suburbs from Towson and Pikesville to Catonsville and Dundalk; Howard County (Columbia, Ellicott City) and Anne Arundel County (Annapolis) carry some of the highest incomes in the country.
Baltimore mails through its hospitals and universities, which mail donors and patients nationally; through real estate agents farming the waterfront rowhouse neighborhoods and the northern suburbs; through home services companies serving rowhouse roofs, heaters and plumbing; and through the restaurants, dental practices, private schools, churches and nonprofits that mail the city and the counties.
