I don’t live in Jefferson Co but grew up there. It’s a bedroom community. Most people live there and work in DC/Balt area unless you work in local manufacturing. I live in the next county over (Berkeley) which is pretty much the same. It is much cheaper to live but there’s also much less to do.
Also a lot less diverse people wise than NoVa but it’s slowly changing.
