Baltimore benefits from proximity to DC. It's actually a very prosperous, highly educated metro, with a huge number of federal/contractor/research jobs, obviously due to proximity to DC. It's one of the wealthiest, best educated metros in the U.S. People need to look past the ghetto porn. Even DC proper had pretty terrible ghetto porn 20-30 years ago. I remember Benning Road in the 1990's. Horrible. But DC has been super-wealthy and educated since forever.
Hartford, BTW, is even wealthier and better educated than Baltimore. Another metro that has a reputation that doesn't match reality.

Hartford is on it's own orbit, not NYC's and not Boston's orbit. It does share a CSA with Springfield MSA called the Knowledge Corridor. You must be mistaken the cities of Stamford, Bridgeport, Waterbury, and New Haven, which are a part of the NYC MSA!
