The city of Alexandria holds an independent entity within the Commonwealth of Virginia and is located at the northern end of the state. Alexandria’s location on the western banks of the Potomac river that meanders through the state of Virginia, enables it to enjoy a position very close to the capital of USA, Washington DC Being a metropolitan area, Alexandria is home to many Virginians who settle in the city, in the hope of being successful in their profession. According to the census records of 2000, the city displays a population of around 128,283.

Alexandria’s proximity to Washington DC has made it extremely suited to people in the civil services. Hence, the city floods with people from the executive services like policemen and civil service officers. It is not unusual therefore, when records show that most people within the state are employees of the federal government of USA, especially the defence department. Very close to the city of Alexandria lies the Pentagon, whose private clients employ people from the city of Alexandria.

Alexandria is known for being the hub for culture and activity on the western bank of the Potomac river. The type of employment that most citizens of Alexandria pursue, are indicators enough, about the standard of life Alexandria’s citizens lead. The neighbourhoods within the suburbs of Alexandria are flooded with rich people, who also have a rich family background to draw upon. Records have shown that about 40% of Alexandria’s population can be teamed in the extremely wealthy group.
