Maryland

Banking markets for the Fifth District are defined by the Research Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Not all areas in the District are defined and definitions are subject to change as applications are processed. For questions about these definitions, please contact a member of the Bank Applications/Casework section of the Research Department.

All municipalities are in Maryland unless otherwise noted. A county may be split into more than one banking market if evidence suggests that the county is economically dependent on two or more counties or metropolitan areas.
