"Goodness" of a neighborhood in Baltimore is measured block-by-block in some areas.  There are places where one side of the street is in a good neighborhood and the other side of the street is in a bad neighborhood; goodness doesn't "fade in and out" like in other cities.  The area around JHU Hospital has always been a bad area (that's why JHU Hospital was put there).  There is a tall fence with guards surrounding the Hospital.  The Charles Village area around the Homewood campus, which is not near the Hospital,  is generally good and the Roland Park neighborhood just north of Homewood is the 2nd best in Baltimore.  RP is just to the west of Guilford, which is the best neighborhood in Baltimore.  As you go up Howard St. from North Ave. toward Homewood, you will see the neighborhoods change from good to bad and back to good in a 10-block stretch.

I had jury duty one time with a DC policeman.  He was stationed in what he described as a really bad part of DC.  He also said as bad as that part of DC was, it wasn't nearly as bad as a bad part of Baltimore.
