<p>Jags, from your post I gather that you are from Northern Virginia? To say that household incomes of 150,000 to 250,000 are middle-income in Northern Virginia is simply incorrect. </p>

<p>I looked up random cities in Northern Virginia, and found their median household incomes:</p>

<p>Reston, Va: $87,878
Herndon, Va: $100,042
Fairfax, Va: $86,888
Arlington, Va: $71,592
Alexandria, Va: $68,860
Falls Church, Va: $70,557</p>

<p>Even the wealthiest cities, for the most part, fall short:
McLean, Va: $112,643
Oakton, Va: $130,016
Great Falls (the one city in Northern Virginia whose median falls within the range you described as ‘middle class’; also, as i’m sure you know, the wealthiest city in Northern Virginia.): $165,592</p>

<p>150,000 is well above middle-class in most of Northern Virginia, and 250,000 is well above middle-class in all of Northern Virginia.</p>
