[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [quote] OP, I don't know if you already live in the DC area, but Arlington really isn't a place where Asian families with other choices tend to live. Most Asians in Montgomery County and Fairfax County are prosperous and their kids usually have high test scores. Asians in Arlington are lower on the SES scale than the whites, and more often from Southeast Asia and South Asia than from East Asian countries like Korea or China. When they start to do better financially, they move out of Arlington. [/quote] Very true. Lately, there are many Mongolian families moving into Arlington. As soon as they can afford to move to Fairfax County, they do.[/quote] Very false. One could say the same about FOB Chinese moving from DC to Springfield. Most Asians I know are middle class, high savers and under consumers of wealth. They're not flashy. So Chantilly and Centreville and Rockville have tons of Asians. Chevy chase, NW DC and N Arlington have few.[/quote]
