I'm from NoVA and I'd believe those numbers. Also how trades can even make 100k -- I used to run data centers and I got tight with a master electrician who did a lot of work for us. He had to work 6 days a week but got paid damn well, and has as much work as he wanted. But it was hard work, not without risk, and six figures doesn't go far in the DC burbs. Something like 6 out of 10 of the wealthiest counties in the US are DC suburbs.
