D.C. region is nation's richest, most educated

The Washington Post reports:

The Washington area's affluence and education levels make it the wealthiest and most educated region in the nation, according to census data released Tuesday that reflect five years of relative prosperity compared with the rest of the country.

During that period, Fairfax and Loudoun were the only two U.S. counties with median household incomes surpassing $100,000.

More bigger the federal government gets the wealthier Washington D.C. gets.
