Walbrook, like many Baltimore neighborhoods, has a history rooted in the city's industrial past and subsequent urban transitions. It may be experiencing effects of deindustrialization and changing urban demographics.
The current population decline may prompt consideration of strategies for neighborhood revitalization and resident retention to maintain the area's urban character and community strength.
