My main interest was emphasizing the economic and social isolation of the elite Washingtonians who inhabit the most expensive zip codes. Geographical distance is less important when DC is such a starkly divided city itself, and even McLean and Chevy Chase are just a few minutes down the parkway.

I live in a residential part of Arlington. Have for more than thirty years following some years in the urban Rosslyn section. When responding to surveys I had always checked "suburbs" when asked where I lived. But I read the fine print one day and found out that, despite the grass and trees, my home is considered urban. It was defined as a jurisdiction > 200,000, IIRC, might have been half that. Trees apparently don't count, only souls. I always thought "urban" was defined by high rises, cabs you can hail, and subways. Anyway, if my neighborhood is urban, then Georgetown is definitely urban.
