30 miles from D.C. Per capita income is $35,000 USD. At 40% Caucasian, 30% Hispanic, 22% African American, and 8% Asian; it is the most racially and socioeconomically diverse area in Northern Virginia. Rich neighborhoods like Dominion Valley, the Riding Club, Saranac, Virginia Oaks, Tullemore Estates, and Lake Manassas. Still mostly middle class. The Public School System in PWC is one of the best. Way less rich than the rest of Nova. Low income neighborhoods include Georgetown South, Coverstone, Irongate, and Westgate (manassas); Dale Forest, (F,G,H,K neighborhoods) in dale city; and East of i95. These neighborhoods are about 70% hispanic, 20% black and 10% white with 700sqft row houses/condos fitting ten people per unit. gangs are in these parts. MS13 alone has 1.5K members, Sureños X3 have 1K; and they control the area's human trafficking, prostitution, heroin, and PCP thru violence. The black gangs push coke, meth, Molly and pills into county. 202SQAD/Southside Boys are notorious. Drugs everywhere. Thousands smoking crack, shooting dope, robbing and jumping, sleeping under bridges, dying like the plague. Schools have memorial gardens for endless losses. There was a drug war in Prince William County from 2015-2016 where 42 people under the age of 25 were murdered over money, territory, and snitching. 3 federal operations in 2.5 years sent hundreds away. Weird place.
Prince William county: a mixing pot of rich spoiled brats, military brats with commuter parents, legal migrants from Guatemala and El Salvador, migrants from Vietnam and China, massive pockets or illegal immigration and criminal networks, the working class, and drug addicts.
