Maryland is washed up and totally eclipsed by Virginia.

Top occupation in DC is lawyer. In VA it's software developer. In MD it's secretary.
So it's not really surprising MD incomes are comparatively stagnant.

If the MD booster is a common personality in MD, I'm not surprised MD is losing a lot of wealth. What kind of moron cites the Muppets and Outback Steakhouse as "cultural contributions"? LMAO!
Anyway, the real story here is that VA is absolutely crushing MD in wealth and income and the disparity is growing as even the very best parts of MD fall. I guess this upsets some people.

Va is outside all of it.
Blah blah blah. Why are you hijacking a thread about wealthy counties to talk about states?
Don't bother answering.

Falls Church City doesn't even have space within its boundaries for its public schools, much less a country club. On a stand-alone basis, however, it has a very high median HHI.
The real issue, though, is why incomes in the large suburban MD counties are increasing so much slower than in DC or the large VA suburban counties. I'd be Oscar the Grouch too if DC and VA were stealing all my cookies.

FCC is very small and has decent schools so it attracts high earners looking for a good commute that aren't interested in the prestige of McLean or Bethesda. It's a decent part of the DMV and it certainly has high earners living there. Have you looked at what you can buy there for under a mill? Not much. Taxes are through the roof which deters a lot of would be buyers.

"Six of the Top 20 richest counties are in Northern Virginia. That gives Virginia twice as many counties in the Top 20 as any other state."
Richest counties in the U.S.:
1. Loudoun County, VA
2. Falls Church City, VA (independent cities are treated as counties)
3. Fairfax County, VA
4. Howard County, MD
The real shocker is that Montgomery County, MD has crashed all the way to 19.
Actually, isn't falls church city very small?
Richest or biggest counties? They are all very large counties, with their share of top % tax payers. Lumped together. If you were to split up the tax payers and % by town - the results would be very different.

U.M.D has done its job with alumni inventing / creating 1/4 of the US economy and culture.
Without the muppets, octane system, linear programming , Google , oculus rift , the Wire, Seinfeld , Sirius Satellite Radio, the Universal Price Code , implantable Defibrulators , coronary stents, miniturized insulin pumps and hundreds of other medical device patents, large screen stadium televisions , Underarmour , bay watch , Outback Steakhouse , the Hybrid Engine , Pulse Dopplar Radar, Boondocks , Liberty meadows , diary of a wimpy kid
The US would not be the same.
Nobody would notice if all UVA alumni evaporated.

All the most expensive real estate , billionaires , best country clubs , best publics and privates are in this traditional DC region.
What "region" is this exactly, and who has defined or measured it as such? Aging country clubs do not define wealth or high HHIs in 2016, snookums. And the best public school in the DC region is TJ, hands down.
It's the rich and influential region of northwest DC and Montgomery County that billionaires choose because it's the most cultured and attractive.
Tj is a magnet school.
Sorry , but Whitman , Churchill , Holton , Sidwell , Stone Ridge , Visitation , National Cathedral , Landon , Georgetown Prep , Saint Albans , Georgetown Day
Congressional , Burning Tree , Chevy Chase , Columbia .
All the best stuff.
All the billionaires.
But then you're stuck with UMD as your state school. Yuck.
UMD is an excellent school but if you're wealthy why would you choose UMD instead of Ivy League?
That's a great question. Maybe the UMD booster can take a break from MD boostering and chime in....
