In one map, here's why Washington doesn't care about income inequality

So, if we're gonna go with the income inequality narrative that this president constantly touts on his nonstop class warfare campaigns, maybe we should consider where we find the beneficiaries of said rewards...

BusinessInsider: The U.S. Census Bureau has a ton of fantastic data visualizations, and one that is completely striking is the Bureau's look at median income by county.

The national median income is $51,914. However, there's a huge range. Some counties are remarkably poor and others are remarkably wealthy.

What was particularly interesting was using this tool to isolate some of the most super-wealthy regions of the United States. Since rising income inequality is such a profound issue, finding the counties that benefitted the most from it is an interesting task.

The result was striking, and goes to explain a long way why the folks in Washington D.C. don't seem to care about this issue — mostly, because they seem to have no concept of it. In this map, the green-shaded counties are the only counties in America with median household income above $100,000

Of the six counties in the United States with median income greater than $100,000, of course four of them are in the D.C. metro area.

Loudoun County, Va. — $115,574
Falls Church City, Va. — $114,409
Fairfax County, Va. — $105,416
Los Alamos County, NM — $103,643
Howard County, MD — $103,273
Hunterdon County, NJ — $100,980

That's the Beltway Bubble for you in a nutshell.

It's doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Washington's making bank off of America's economic demise.
