According to the U.S. Census, in 2017, the official poverty rate in the United States was 12.3%, while Maryland had a poverty rate of 9.3%. In contrast, the poverty rate in the city of Baltimore was a staggering 22.4%. According to a 2014 report by the U.S. Department of Justice, there is a strong correlation between poverty and violent crime, with those in households at or below the Federal Poverty Level having over twice the rate of violent victimization as compared to high-income households.
According to the Baltimore Health Department in 2017, there is a 20-year gap in the life expectancy between the poor and wealthy neighborhoods of Baltimore.
According to a Pew research article based on data from the FBI, in 2017, Baltimore had the second highest murder rate of any U.S. city with 55.8 per 100,000 residents, with St. Louis having the highest rate of 66.1 per 100,000 residents.
In October 2016, after a year-long investigation, the Baltimore Sun reported that "Gun violence in Baltimore - and in cities across the nation - is concentrated in poor, predominantly black areas," adding that in the previous 5 years, 80% of Baltimore's homicides occurred in one quarter of Baltimore's neighborhoods.
Baltimore City students scored near the bottom in reading and math compared to children in other cities and large urban areas on an important national assessment given in 2017.
The Democrat political stronghold of Baltimore has experienced squalor and crime for many years due to ineffective policies and indifference shown by many of the city's Democrat politicians.
If Congressman Cummings would work together with President Trump, perhaps they could find effective solutions to the poverty and high crime all too common in the inner city in Baltimore and inner cities throughout America.
