According to data supplied by the RappahannockRapidan Planning District Commission, Washington meets most of the criteria for judging whether a small town is distressed.
At least 33.77 per cent of the community’s housing must have been constructed prior to 1940, based on U.S. Census data. Washington qualifies under this category with 75 per cent of housing built before 1940.
Of Washington’s population of 192, 14.06 per cent are at or below the poverty level, over the minium of 11.07 per cent required for distressed status.
Washington’s per capita income change between 1969 and 1975 was $1,890—above the distressed level of $1,433 net increase. In addition, the town experienced a higher growth rate, 1.59 per cent, than the distressed minimum of 0.32 per cent.
Op the basis of new 'U. S. Census data, several small towns that met the minimum standards of physical and economic distress in Fiscal Year 1978 do not meet the current minimum standards. Middleburg is in this category.
