Where County Employees Live?
During the County Board’s March 17, 2011 compensation work session, one Board member asked where County employees live. In a April 4, 2011 follow-up response by Human Resources Department staff (available at the FY 2012 County Board work sessions follow-up webpage), we learn that 77% of the employees live in Virginia, almost 17% live in Maryland, almost 5% live in the District, and 1.45% live outside Virginia, Maryland and the District. A further breakdown of employees living in Virginia and Maryland shows:
- Virginia. Of the 77.04% of employees who live in Virginia, 25.15% of all employees live in Arlington, 22.95% live in Fairfax County or Falls Church, 8.36% live in Alexandria, and 20.55% live in other Virginia counties, i.e., “need to drive through Fairfax and/or Alexandria.
- Maryland. 586 of all County employees, or 16.96% live in Maryland. Of those, 9.18% of all County employees live in Prince George’s County, 3.36% in Montgomery County, and 4.43% in other Maryland counties.
