BALTIMORE — The two governments are often compared by whose doing what, when, and how.

We're talking of course about Baltimore City and County.

Earlier this month UMBC took a poll weighing residential concerns in each jurisdiction, specifically on quality of life issues and government satisfaction.

Out of 12 issues raised, 11 of them were deemed more of a problem in Baltimore City.

While the gap proved large in many subjects, none was bigger than issues of homelessness and poverty.

By an 84 percent margin City residents found it to be major issue, compared to 50 percent in Baltimore County.

The next highest differential concerned road and highway conditions.

In Baltimore City, 73 percent believe the issue to be major, as opposed to Baltimore County's 49 percent.

The only topic County residents appear more concerned about is traffic and commute times, 49 to 40 percent.

As for government services, it was a clean sweep with Baltimore County residents more satisfied than their City neighbors.

Below are the full poll results.
