We Got Your Rocket Scientsts Right Here

Here’s an interesting tidbit. Here in DC, I’m surrounded by rocket scientists. OK, not surrounded but it turns out the metro-DC area is home to a large percentage of the rocket scientist population. Higher than most cities, I bet.

The latest issue of The Washingtonian pulls some data from the Greater Washington Initiative’s latest regional report, which puts the percentage of rocket scientists in the area at 32% of the population. (12% of the nation’s physicists).

Rocket Scientists in DC

Impressive. But that’s only about a third of the country’s rocket scientists. Where are the rest of them? Where are most of them?
