DC Top Student Destination

Washington DC has always been labeled as a highly educated city, now there's more proof to back it up.  This is good news for property owners focusing on student housing, since demand will remain strong for housing near campuses in the district. 

The opportunity and hope radiating from our nation's capitol has drawn droves of students to colleges in the DC area for their education and subsequent employment opportunities. The top reasons are obvious: 1) Low unemployment: 5.6% 2) Second Highest per-capita income in the US ($54,971)

All this news is good news to help aid the local economic recovery. As a talent magnet for the educated masses, DC will have the intellectual capital to grow its employment base.
