About Prince George's County
Prince George's County is the wealthiest U.S. county with an African-American majority population. One will sometimes hear it abbreviated "P.G.", although this abbreviation irritates some county residents. The county is very diverse, both ethnically and economically. Inside the Beltway, there is a pretty clear division between northern P.G. County (northeast of D.C.) and southern P.G. County (southeast of D.C.). The former is significantly more densely populated and wealthy than the latter, which has much in common with the even poorer neighboring areas insoutheastern D.C.. Just outside the Beltway, there are suburban bedroom communities likeLaurel,BowieandUpper Marlboro, with rural areas further out.
