Household Median Income by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Washington D.C. Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The highest median household incomes, exceeding $150,000, concentrate heavily in the outer suburban ring—particularly in Loudoun County to the northwest, Howard County to the northeast, and portions of Fairfax County west of Tysons Corner—while the lowest incomes cluster within the District of Columbia proper, especially in its southeastern quadrants where values drop below $40,000. A sharp income gradient is visible radiating outward from central D.C., with zip codes transitioning from deep blue-green tones near the urban core to bright yellow within just a few miles, particularly along the Virginia side south of Alexandria. Prince George's County east of D.C. presents a more mixed pattern than its Montgomery County counterpart to the north, with pockets of moderate income interspersed among higher-earning areas near Bowie.
