The highest-income cities in Virginia represent areas where residents earn significantly above the national median. McLean leads with a median household income of $250,001. These cities are often home to concentrations of high-paying industries including technology, finance, and healthcare.

High median incomes typically correlate with strong local economies, educated workforces, and proximity to major employment centers. Many of these cities are suburbs or satellite communities of larger metro areas, where professionals live while commuting to nearby urban cores.

While high incomes are attractive, they often come with correspondingly higher costs of living, particularly in housing. The gap between income and housing costs varies significantly across these top-earning communities.
