A generally cloudy city with a high percentage of wealthy millennials might not necessarily seem like an appealing cocktail—but it sure does to local Uber drivers. According to Zen99, a tax and earnings management website for 1099 companies, D.C. is the best city for ridesharing ride-hailing (Ed. note: AP style defines companies like Uber and Lyft as ride-booking or ride-hailing services) in America.

The statistics that contributed to each rideshare “score” included percentage of residents age 20-34 (31.7 percent), percentage of residents with an income above $65,000 (49.6 percent), percentage of public transit users (38.5 percent) and percentage of sunny days (56 percent).

In short, D.C. is filled with a lot of people that embrace new technology, have a lot of disposable income, and don’t feel like running to the bus or Metro on those less than perfect weather days—of which there are plenty.

D.C. also has three different active ridesharing services, Uber, Lyft, and Sidecar. Additionally, the average gas price and insurance costs in D.C. aren’t as astronomical as they are in other cities (hi, New York!), so ride-hailing drivers can manage to stay on the road in greater numbers.

However, at least one Lyft driver also attributes a “jacked up Metro system” to the reason that ride-hailing is so popular in the District. That driver, Ayanna Mack, also believes that there’s not enough general awareness about ridesharing options in the area. Go figure.
