Business-Friendly Ranking

Washington, D.C. represents a unique economic ecosystem, with a GDP exceeding $150 billion driven by the federal government, professional services, and a thriving nonprofit sector. The nation’s capital hosts over 175 foreign embassies, headquarters for countless associations, and thousands of lobbying firms, law offices, and think tanks. This concentration of influence and expertise creates unparalleled opportunities for businesses serving these specialized markets.

Beyond government, D.C. has emerged as a significant technology hub, with Amazon’s HQ2 in nearby Arlington driving growth throughout the region. The city’s highly educated population (one of the most educated in America) and high median income create sophisticated consumer markets. Neighborhoods like the Navy Yard and NoMa have transformed into vibrant mixed-use districts attracting startups and established companies alike. The D.C. metro area’s economy rivals major states in size and diversity.
