ABOUT THE MARYLAND STATE ECONOMIC DASHBOARD

The Maryland State Economic Dashboard provides quick and easy access to demographic, economic, and social data for all Maryland counties and Baltimore City. While all the pages utilize a similar design and functionality, there are slight differences including data sources, data vintages, and availability of sup-tabs within the pages.

The interactive dashboards utilize the most current available data from sources including the U.S. Census Bureau; Maryland Department of Education; U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics; U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
