... are the ‘establishment’ so very much concerned about the ‘political outsiders?’
The Washington D.C. metropolitan area has no major industries. Neither is it, like some other western capitals, the center of finance for the country. The DC economy is pretty much all about the federal government. Civil servants, government contractors, lobbyists abound. And yet, four of the top five counties for ‘household income’ are DC suburbs.
| County | Median Household Income | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Loudoun County, Virginia | $115,574 |
| 2 | City of Falls Church, Virginia | $114,409 |
| 3 | Fairfax County, Virginia | $105,416 |
| 4 | Los Alamos County, New Mexico | $103,643 |
| 5 | Howard County, Maryland | $103,273 |
