Favored Quarter
The favored quarter is a defining characteristic of regional growth in most regions, and the Hampton Roads region is no exception. The maps below
shows the distribution of income (per capita) around metropolitan areas. For the Hampton Roads region, the map shows a few areas of wealth (pink
color), primarily near water-oriented areas. The favored quarter is typically where the best paying jobs, particularly office jobs, concentrate; on average
about 40% of these jobs locate in what RCLCO has deemed to be Metro Cores, the areas of greatest job density.
