Baltimore is very much a neighborhood by neighborhood kind of city. the above referenced FBI stats does not inform a comparison between upper Park Heights and Borough Park. There are 3 types of untruths 1) lies, 2) darn lies, and 3) statistics.
As for the OP’s question, there are plenty of people in B-more wearing the latest shmatas and going to Pesach hotels.
If you are really considering moving here come for a visit. From the tone of your question I suggest staying in the Greenspring area.
