Comparing Virginia and Maryland
Parts of Maryland may only be a few minutes from Virginia, but they are very different states. Here are some things you might notice, other things that are good to know, and some fun facts:
- Size: Maryland is not the smallest state in the U.S., but it is 3.5 times smaller than Virginia.
- Population: While the size of Virginia and Maryland are quite different, their populations are not that far apart. That means people are more spread out in Virginia, with a population density of 213 people per square mile, and live closer together in Maryland with a population density of 618 people per square mile.
- Minimum wage: Maryland has a higher minimum wage of $11 per hour than Virginia, which is $7.25 per hour
- Cost of living: Overall, the cost of living is about 2% more in Maryland than Virginia. Housing is about 5.7% more in Maryland, but transportation, clothing, and entertainment are cheaper than in Virginia.
- Politics: Virginia is traditionally a “red” or conservative state, while Maryland is a “blue,” or liberal state.
- Taxes: Sales tax in Maryland is 6%, while in Virginia, it is 5%. State income taxes are the same in both states, ranging from 2% to 5.75%. Real estate taxes, of course, depend on where you live and the value of your home.
The capital of Maryland is Annapolis and the largest city is Baltimore, which is only a 30-minute drive to Washington D.C., one hour drive to Philadelphia, and a two-hour drive to New York City.
Now for some fun facts about Maryland, your new home:
- Maryland is the only state with a state crustacean: the crab
- The first successful passenger balloon flight in the U.S. happened in Baltimore on June 24, 1784.
- The Star Spangled Banner was written in Maryland
- Maryland has a designated state exercise: walking
- The first long-distance telegram ever was sent to Baltimore
- The first post office system in the US was inaugurated in 1774
Both Virginia and Maryland have much in common when it comes to important events in U.S. history. Once you get to Maryland, do some research on your own and check out local internet forums to get settled quickly.

Did you know...?
What is an Inventory?
The driver will generally inventory your shipment as he or she loads it (although it is not required by law). When completed, the inventory provides a detailed, descriptive listing of your household goods, along with the condition of each item when received by the mover.
Be sure that everything listed on the inventory is correct. This is not always the easiest task, as you will find things written on the inventory such as “PBO,” which means “packed by owner.” The contents of this carton cannot be listed, as the driver is simply not able to see inside each box. You will also sometimes find “CP” on a line item in the inventory, which means “carrier packed” container.
You may also notice, in the middle column on your inventory form, a line that has many seemingly random letters and numbers associated with a specific item. This is where a driver uses inventory code to make note of the condition of an item. To understand this code, you can refer to the top of the inventory sheet for a legend that will explain what each code means. For example, SC means scratched; C means chipped; the number 3 refers to the right side of piece; and 8 refers to the top of the piece. This is a simple (and consistent) way for the driver to make note of any irregularities or existing damage.
Remember, this inventory is for you to keep track of what is loaded, and the condition of each item. If damage occurs on a certain piece during the loading process, make a note of the inventory tag number on that item and indicate it in the far-right hand column on the line that corresponds with that piece. This is the document that will be scrutinized when the claims process is initiated, so it is important to have the damage clearly noted.
This inventory should also be used at-destination when your shipment is delivered. Use the inventory to verify the articles that are delivered and, again, note an exception to the condition of any items as they are brought into your home. Point out the damage to the driver.
What often occurs is that a piece of furniture has been in your home for many years and you grow accustomed to looking at it in a certain place and in a certain light. When you bring that same piece into your new home, you may notice damage that may have been there for a long time. The driver will have noted the scratch or chip at your origin residence. If you are not sure if it was existing damage or new damage, ask your driver to explain the condition of the piece as he noted it on the inventory during the loading process. This is the quickest way to distinguish new damage from what was there all along.
Our drivers are incredibly careful about the way they handle your items, and the inventory is their safeguard against potentially fraudulent damage claims. Use this inventory to your advantage in making sure that you are protected, just as the driver uses it to protect himself or herself.
