[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$250,000 is the median HH income in the wealthiest suburb, Chevy Chase.  Even in Bethesda and Potomac, the median HH income is below $200K.  And these are among the wealthiest places in the entire region.  In MoCo as a whole, one of the most affluent counties in the country, it's less than $100K.

Yes but this is not meaningful. Higley measures actual neighborhoods, and there are neighborhoods in McLean, Great Falls, Potomac, Bethesda and North Arlington where the average HHI is over $400K. Average.[/quote]
