Statistics are not all that recent and definitions on “orthodox jews” are even more inconsistent. If you look at the various estimates and update them to 2020, there would seem to be about 100,000 “jews” in the Baltimore metro area (including City of Baltimore, Pikesville, Reisterstown, Owings Mills, etc) and perhaps 25 percent of them consider themselves “orthodox” which probably ranges from MO to Chassidic/yeshivish etc. . The orthodox segment is the fastest growing segment of the overall tzibur. Some studies lump Baltimore and Metro Washington D.C./ Northern VA into a single metro area which distorts the numbers. The D.C. frum component is much smaller (probably in the range of 10 to 15 percent of the total).
