Once again, the DC area has several of the nation's wealthiest counties. This year greater DC has 7 of the 10 counties with the highest annual income. This is up from previous years.
To me, this is a very obvious symbol of just how very out-of-touch the DC area is from the rest of the country. Government jobs and government-funded jobs (gov/defense contractor) are simply insulated from the harsh economic realities facing most of the nation right now.
You can find the information here, in the 2011 American Community Survey conducted by the Census Bureau.
