cost of living measures are really screwed up. i certainly don't think $100k is tough in dc. if you want to go out to bars and restaurants regularly, maybe. but I don't think that's really middle class lifestyle
yeah haha it's not tough, but truly like Loudoun's median hh income is $156K so it's understandable if ppl look around and feel they're in "the middle" above $100K

Reply · Jun 1, 2023it's funny comparing locations too- DC's median hh income is $90K (and suburbs over $100K) vs NYC it's $70K, yet DC has lower cost of living...Reply · Jun 7, 2021@BlckCatBlckSky You're missing a "1" I assume? DC median hasta be closer to $131K? Arlington median is $120K and I know rich people like Gillibrand…Reply · Mar 20, 2023@LesFleursDuMac @HeteroMishima if we're talking abt why Loudoun has highest median income in the US, imo AOL & Equinix & etc are the main answerReply · Mar 26, 2026@cold_and_quiet loudoun county's status as highest median income in america rests on these jobs lol
