Same socioeconomic status but different demographics? What?

you mean if they were affluent, but not so young?

Arlington may not be the "city" but it doesn't feel suburban either. Parking is one reason.

Well parking isn't an issue for me. The only time there's been an issue with parking has been in Clarendon or Crystal City. Never had an issue in other parts of Arlington.
