Census Bureau releases new data on county communities

New data released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau reveal a wide gap in income and education levels among Prince George's County residents as well as insight into the commuting patterns of residents.

The wealthiest households were in Woodmore, according to the new data collected between 2005 and 2009, where the median household income was about $154,000. By contrast, residents in Cottage City took home a median household income of just $38,750.

South county residents continued to have the longest commutes. In Brandywine, Accokeek, Friendly, Temple Hills and Fort Washington, more than a quarter of residents reported traveling at least an hour to get to their job.
