Baltimore's Hampden air quality reflects the historic working-class neighbourhood, with vehicle traffic on 36th Street and the surrounding dense residential and commercial character contributing local sources. The Jones Falls Expressway generates background vehicle emissions, while the neighbourhood's walkable character and the surrounding residential density maintain moderate Baltimore metropolitan readings and Hampden generally tracks at typical inner North Baltimore neighbourhood levels throughout most of the year.
