Loudoun County is ranked 10th in Virginia in average per capita income, 19th in population and had a 10.7 percent annual growth rate in total earnings of people living in the county between 1973 and 1983, according to a federal report released this week.
Figures from the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis compared Loudoun to the state’s 136 counties and independent cities from 1973 to 1983, and between 1982 and 1983.
In 1983, Loudoun’s estimated 61,300 residents had a per capita personal income of $14,137, compared to $6,071 (seventh in Virginia) in 1973. The 1983 figure was greater than the state average of $12,122 and the national average of $11,687.
However, the annual PCPI growth rate of 8.8 percent per year was less than the state average of 9.6 percent and equaled the national average.
Total personal income in 1983 was more than $866 million, was 16th in the state and accounted for 1.3 percent of the state total. The annual growth rate in this category was 12.5 percent since 1973 when TPI stood at $266 million; growth in this category was greater than both the state and national average.
LaRouche camp delayed
A public hearing on Sweetwater Farm, where organizations associated with Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr. propose a summer camp, will be held before the Loudoun County Board of Zoning Appeals on Jan. 16 instead of this week.
The BZA had scheduled the public hearing on Thursday night, but a heavy agenda prompted county staff to seek a delay in the hearing on Sweetwater Farm, a special exception application that met widespread public opposition before the planning commission.
The commission recommended that the BZA deny the application, which would allow Campaigner Publications to run a summer camp for the children of its employees and employees of other organizations associated with Mr. LaRouche, a controversial political figure who lives near Leesburg.
