actually, going by city-propers, Baltimore was bigger than DC all the way up until census 2020.
year --- Baltimore --- DC
1900 ---- 508,957 --- 278,718
1910 ---- 558,485 --- 331,069
1920 ---- 733,826 --- 437,571
1930 ---- 804,874 --- 486,869
1940 ---- 859,100 --- 663,091
1950 ---- 949,708 --- 802,178
1960 ---- 939,024 --- 763,956
1970 ---- 905,787 --- 756,510
1980 ---- 786,741 --- 638,333
1990 ---- 736,016 --- 606,900
2000 ---- 651,154 --- 572,059
2010 ---- 620,961 --- 601,723
2020 ---- 585,708 --- 689,545
now, at the MSA level (the better comparison), DC has been bigger than Baltimore since 1950.
