D.C. suburbs ranked among wealthiest
Census figures show that Fairfax, Howard and Loudoun County are the three most prosperous large counties, The Washington Post reported, with Loudoun County having a median income of $98,000.
Local economists say that the recent rise in income can be attributed to the influx of government jobs following the Sept. 11 attacks, The Post reported.
D.C. ranks below only San Jose when it comes to household income, beating both New York and San Francisco.
