Residents of metropolitan Washington DC enjoy the highest average household income in the country. That rate is currently a little north of 85,000 dollars.<\/p>\n

In addition, it is the only city in the top 52 largest metropolitan areas surveyed that had a consistent or modest increase in income for 2009. \u00a0The only other city that held its ground and didn’t lose traction was San Antonio.<\/p>\n

This speaks volumes by pointing out just how widespread this economic recession has been. \u00a0No region has emerged totally unscathed.<\/p>\n

Much of the income stability in the DC area stems from the large number of government and related employers that make up the majority of employer sector.<\/p>\n

Cities that have fared the worst include Detroit, Orlando and Cleveland according to reports by the US Census Bureau. Incomes have fallen up to 10 % in these areas.<\/p>\n
