Across the river in Alexandria and the surrounding suburbs, this was true as well (not sure about Netflix, but the housing boundaries)

The bureaucrats, lawyers, doctors, and career officers (Pentagon) were highly concentrated in a few neighborhoods that border the Potomac (Old Town through Fort Hunt). A few blocks away, the Rt 1 corridor was largely working class or lower class, with some young enlisted families from Ft Belvior.

This extended to my high school - there were 3 buildings - first was arts/music, second was STEM and honors, and the third was the gym, auto shop, wood shop, and cooking. It's not hard to imagine there were students who never entered building 1. And the only reason I was ever in building 3 was the weight room and the one semester of auto shop I took.

I also went to West Potomac and spent hardly any time in Gunston.
