Arlington is an urban county of about 26 square miles located directly across the Potomac River from Washington, DC. No incorporated towns or cities lie within Arlington's boundaries. Arlington had an estimated population of 198,739 as of January 1, 2004, reflecting an increase of 5% since 2000. Arlington's population is racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse.
Arlington residents are among the most educated in the nation. Over 60% of adults age 25 and older have a bachelor's degree or higher and 30% have a graduate or professional degree. Although perhaps best known to visitors as the home of the Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington boasts high quality residential neighborhoods and award winning managed growth policies.
Arlington's central location in the Washington metropolitan area, its ease of access by car and public transportation, and its highly skilled labor force have attracted an increasingly varied residential and employment mix. Arlington has focused high-density commercial and residential development around Metrorail stations in the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor and the Jefferson Davis corridor (which includes Pentagon City and Crystal City), while maintaining lower density development in the remainder of the County.
