D.C. Suburbs Richer than Silicon Valley (and Just About Everyone Else)

The Census Bureau has some absolutely disgusting news.

Nine of the 20 richest counties in the United States are suburbs of Washington, D.C. Two counties in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C., are richer than the two California counties that include Silicon Valley.

The Census Bureau, which measured wealth by median household income, reported that the nation’s richest county (Loudoun County, Virginia) had a median household income of $140,382.  For reference, “county-level median household income estimates ranged from $25,385 to $140,382, with a median income of $50,568 for all counties in 2018.”

That’s almost three times the national median income. CNS had a helpful chart to see how much money is floating around the Swamp:

Why would all of the wealth of this nation be centered around Washington, D.C.?  What do they produce?  

All they do is pillage the rest of the nation.  

Plunder and pillage: that’s the primary industry of D.C. and its suburbs.
