Loudoun is dominated by families making a solid 100k-200k a year. Not much poverty or single-person/young couple households, comparatively speaking, to drag the averages down. Fairfax and to a greater extent Montgomery is divided more sharply between the "have a lots" and the "not having much." In DC it is much worse.

There's a value judgment there, it seems, that it's best to live in a county that's one giant Toll Brothers subdivision full of people commuting to places with more jobs and more diversity.  That's the essence of the exurban minsdet, as I've always understood it.  If you can't run with the "have a lots," move further out so you don't have to mix with those "not having much."[/quote]

It is not "if you can't run with the haves" ... What it's more like, the middle class has always been able to run with the haves. But, if you value SES diversity, you have to live I the exurbs bacause the city and close in burbs polarize their communities putting the poors in certain neighborhoods and keeping them away from the rich kids. It disgusts some people.[/quote]
