Rule 10-A2405 - INCOME AND EMPLOYMENT
2405.1

According to the 2000 Census, median household income in Upper Northeast was $36,453, compared to a citywide median of $45,927. Approximately 19 percent of the area's residents lived below the federal poverty level. This is an increase from 1990, when the figure was 15.1 percent. 2405.1

2405.2

Data from the Department of Employment Services and the Office of Planning indicates that Upper Northeast had 39,000 jobs in 2005, primarily in institutional uses and in the production, distribution, and repair sector. This represents 5.2 percent of the city's job base. On the surface, the Planning Area appears to have an excellent balance between jobs and households, with about 1.5 jobs per household. However, most of the jobs are held by non-District residents, and most of the residents in Upper Northeast work elsewhere. Based on 2000 Census data, about 54 percent of the Planning Area's jobs are filled by Maryland residents and about 12 percent are filled by Virginia residents. Only eight percent are filled by residents of Upper Northeast. 2405.2

2405.3

The 2000 Census found that about 31 percent of the residents of Upper Northeast worked in Central Washington and about 39 percent worked elsewhere within the District of Columbia. About 30 percent commuted to the suburbs. 2405.3
