I'm trying to figure out where this is?

I know there are little -pockets- of Capitol Hill that are factually described as "wealthy."   ie, 1 percenters.  Not upper middle class-ers, but honest to God rich people. The people owning the SFHs right on Logan Circle are probably "wealthy," as the Census or Brookings describes that term.  Maybe the people in the penthouses in Penn Quarter (but not the single newly minted lawyer in the studio 7 floors down).

I can't think of a single neighborhood east of RCP that is monolithically wealthy.  There are only a couple west of RCP, fyi.

(the definition of wealth and 1% for[u] our[/u] area is between $350 and 500K HHI annually)[/quote]

"Wealthy" is a subjective term.

In a city where 15% of the population makes under $10k per year, a solid middle- to upper-middle class family making $150-$200k per year is pretty "wealthy".  There's a very large swath of Capitol Hill where almost every homeowner fits that description.

Not to be pedantic, but no, the "definition of wealth" is not "between $350 and $500k HHI annually".[/quote]
