Class-Divided Cities: Washington, D.C. Edition
The fourth installment in our series mapping the class divides in America's cities and metros.
This is the fourth of a series of posts that explore the class divides across America’s largest cities and metros. Using data from the American Community Survey, each post explores the geography of class within a large city and metro area. For a detailed description of methodology, see the first post in the series, on New York.
The map above charts the geography of class for the entire metro area of Washington, D.C., which includes Northern Virginia and parts of Maryland. The D.C. metro area is the nation's seventh largest, with approximately 5.7 million people, and the fourth largest in in economic output [PDF], producing $434 billion in goods and services.
