Arlington County, Virginia, where Jeff and I live, has just released its 2006 demographic profile [website] [3.69Mb PDF].

- more private office space than downtown LA, Atlanta or Seattle
- 43% of residents are Hispanic/Latino, African-American, Asian or multi-racial
- more than one-quarter of residents were born outside the U.S.
- unemployment rate of 2.1%
- 60% of adults (25 and older) have a bachelor's degree or higher, with 30% holding a graduate or professional degree
- 72.6% of households consist of only 1 (40.8%) or 2 (31.8%) people

There are more men than women there! Perhaps, I should relocate. Of course, with my record, I'd crush on the ones I have too much in common with.. namely, interest in men. hahaha!
