This Is Virginia's Richest Zip Code

Just one Virginia zip code was named among the richest in the South.

One of Northern Virginia's communities is among the very richest in the country.

Bloomberg recently evaluated IRS data to come up with the nation's priciest communities. The most expensive in Virginia? That would be 22101, which is McLean.
