|---|---|---|
| Locations in Maryland | 10 | Records the US location index holds for Citi Trends inside Maryland right now — a snapshot at the Q3 2026 release, not a change over time. |
| Rank among Citi Trends's states | 18th of 29 | By location count, among the states where this brand clears the publication floor. |
| States with a published Citi Trends page | 29 | States where the brand has at least 3 locations. Smaller states exist in the index and are not published. |
| Locations across those states | 683 | The sum of the state table below. Lower than the national count, which includes states under the floor. |
| Maryland's share of that footprint | 1.5% | A share of the published states only. Both halves are the same measure, so this is not a growth rate. |
| Verified openings in Maryland | 1 | A DIFFERENT measure from the count above: openings detected inside the tracked window, not stores standing today. |
| Cities with verified openings in Maryland | 1 | Distinct cities after folding spelling variants. See the city table. |
Cities with verified openings recorded for Citi Trends in Maryland. The count beside each city is its openings — not its total Citi Trends locations.

Context for the local figures above. None of it is a Maryland number.
| Figure | Value | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| US locations | 697 | At the latest vintage, Q3 2026. |
| US locations at the window start | 688 | The first tracked vintage, Q4 2024. |
| Net new over the window | +9 | The difference between the two counts above. A count movement, not a count of openings. |
| Growth over the window | +1.3% | Percentage change in the count between the first and latest vintages, nationwide. |
| Growth as a multiple | 1.0x | The same movement stated as a multiple of the starting count. |
| Growth against its category | +1.3% | The brand's percentage change minus its category's, so a rising tide is subtracted out. |
| Mean quarterly change | +3 | Average count movement per vintage step. The default ranking key on the hub. |
| Verified openings in the window | 13 | Individually dated location records new to the index inside the window, nationwide. |
| Openings pace, latest step | +7.2 | Verified openings per 91 days over the most recent vintage step. |
| Openings pace, prior step | the prior step is majority batch-suspect, so its pace and the direction are withheld while the latest one stands | The same measure one step earlier. |
| Direction | the two steps are not comparable, so no direction is stated | Accelerating, steady or slowing, decided on the two paces at the precision they are printed. |
| Latest pace as a share of the base | a single quarter's share has nothing to be read against, so it prints only alongside the prior quarter's | The latest pace over the store count at that step's start vintage. |
| Prior pace as a share of the base | withheld with the prior step, above | The same measure one step earlier. |
| Reported openings pace, latest | +7.2 | The server's own pre-aggregated pace. Shown because the page ranks on the series-derived figure above and the two must agree. |
| Reported openings pace, prior | +4.0 | The same, one step earlier. |
| Largest single step's share of the change | 67% | One release carrying most of the movement is the signature of a data-coverage artifact rather than of openings. |
| Steps that moved the same direction | 71% | A real buildout moves one way most quarters. This and the row above are the credibility filter. |
| Passes the credibility filter | no | Largest step at or under half the movement, most steps in one direction, and net new above zero. |
| Cleared to print a percentage | yes | Whether the index's coverage of this brand is mature enough for a rate to mean anything. |
| Openings corroborated by coverage | 144% | Share of the openings that agree with the count series over the same step. |
| Records matching the brand's own website | 100% | Share of index records whose website resolves to this domain. |
| Records sharing an address with another operator | 46% | High values mean host locations, sibling banners or shared kitchens rather than the chain's own leases. |
| Entity class | chain | Anything other than a chain is not published as a brand page in this state tier. |
| Category | Retail > Fashion Retail > Clothing Store | The index's own category path for this brand. |
| Segment | Apparel & Accessories | The published grouping the category rolls up to. |
| Match name in the index | citi trends | The string the location index matches records against. Rarely the display name. |
| Display name | Citi Trends | As published. Some domains carry a read-time repair where the index's most frequent name is a department's. |
| Domain | cititrends.com | The key every table on this tier is joined on. |
| Tracked window | 8 vintages, Q4 2024 to Q3 2026 | How many quarterly releases this brand has been measured across. |
