Washington County (pop. 137,000) is a suburban county in the Milwaukee metro, part of the suburban “WOW” counties along with Waukesha to its south and Ozaukee to its east. Washington’s population is 91% white. Its educational attainment is similar to the state as a whole, but its median household income is much higher than typical. Politically, the county is a Republican stronghold–showing few of the signs of Trump-era weakness for the Republican party common among other suburban communities.
