Lexington Park Highest Income City in the USA!!??

[kstone803]

I'd like to know how they came up with this crazy fact. I mean I know alot of people that work at PAX make good money and we do have alot of DC commuters but to my knowledge absolutely none of them reside in LP City. I guess if they visited it at 2300 on a sat night they may have reviewed their assessment lol. Maybe they meant St. Marys county when they said Lexington Park?

The Lexington park Zipcode goes from north of San Souci all the way down to Dameron.

It's a pretty big area, believe it or not.

Not completely out of the question given number of high paying jobs held by retired military ... most I know pull in over $225K a-year

I suspect they included California and Leonardtown.

They must be including other zip codes.....definitely included Hollywood and leonardtown. I live right in the heart of LP city on great mills rd. There is easily 2 or 3 times as much section 8 housing in and around LP (exp nearest to PAX) then there is normal housing. I guess if you take all the homies welfare checks and add them up we might just be the richest state in the whole world THANKS OBAMA

I ment city not state in that last sentence

I can believe it, though. Consider:
a. The population of St. Mary's County is almost exactly 100,000.
b. The base employs more than 30,000 people. It really is the engine of the local economy.
c. Even discounting for the folks who live in Calvert Co., at least 20,000 people - one quarter of the adult population - works on base.
d. Most of those jobs are professional, paying $80-$120K/year. Toss in military retirees collecting retirement pay, and you have a very high average income.

Strippers at Roses must have greatly improved since the 1980s........

The "establishment" formerly known as Roses is now a Cement Parking lot...



That probably brought the County average up by a few $$, though I hear the former workers are married to military retirees, so...oh, crap...

The base is closer to half the population in b. above.

I doubt it. The old Naval Air Test Center employed 12,000...before the consolidation of NAVAIR HQ and NADC at Pax.

You will have to work on your dexterity, and agility.

Taking it in every orifice at the same time requires skill, otherwise you will wind up in the fetal position afterwards feeling cheap and used.

Over 17,000 according to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patuxent_Naval_Air_Station

 

[Mike OTDP]

Almost exactly 18K according to the NAVAIR Web page, but I'm not sure if that includes the contractors working out in town.

Not that it matters. The point is that this area doesn't have that many people making super-big money...but a significant proportion making $100k/year.

Ummmmmm, OK. I think I'll stick to my current job. But, then again, that IS pretty good money.

 

[Hit and Run]

Don't agree with suberb of DC part though....the Base is the driver not DC

It counts the ones directly supporting NAVAIR. Doubtful that it includes those who 'support the supporters.'

The number is ever changing of course, but currently it's more like 19,000 on PAX proper with an additional 3,000 between Webster and Solomon's. Total is ~22k
