One thing I noticed about the DC suburbs a few days ago is that it's the only place I've ever seen where Black HHI is higher than White HHI in an affluent, majority-white suburb.

This thread is trivial and a lot of people could stand to get a life and worry about their own money rather than pocket watch others to prove some sort of point instead of being happy that there are black people out here making money

I'd say affluent. It has the second-highest median household income overall in the metro at 81K.
Fayette strikes me as being more similar to Prince William County, VA or maybe even Howard County, MD. Both have high HHIs relative to the nation, but neither have a zip code that's among the highest income zips in their respective regions. In other words, there's nowhere there that would be considered on par with a Chevy Chase or Dunwoody, but they also lack the equivalent of some of the poorer parts of a MoCo, MD, Dekalb or Fulton.
This is to some extent reflected in median home values.
Potomac, MD - $889,800
Bethesda, MD - $885,800
Burke, VA - $497,400
Olney, MD - $482,800
Brookhaven, GA - $385,600
Decatur, GA - $384,300
Dunwoody, GA - $381,500
John's Creek, GA - $348,600
Alpharetta - $344,100
Peachtree City, GA - $287,100
Tyrone, GA - $238,700
Fayetteville, GA - $183,400
A place like Howard County has higher median HHIs not so much because the affluent choose to live there, but rather because exclusionary zoning keeps more poor people out.

Poor people are moving in to Howard county from the city (Baltimore) with this Section 8 vouchers.
