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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Northwest Washington zip codes, particularly in the upper northwest neighborhoods, exhibit the highest household median incomes at or above $125,000–$150,000, forming a distinct high-income corridor that extends from the northern tip of the District southward through the central-west area. In stark contrast, zip codes in the far southeast and portions of northeast D.C. register median incomes below $40,000–$50,000, with at least one small central zip code dropping to approximately $20,000, likely corresponding to a predominantly institutional or student-populated area. The central and southwest portions of the District display moderate incomes in the $60,000–$100,000 range, creating a clear east-west income gradient that reflects long-standing socioeconomic disparities along the Anacostia River divide.
