America's Most Shopaholic City: Washington D.C.!

America's Most 'Shopaholic' City Is...

But none of those cities, according to a new study, rate as the country's most "shopaholic." Bundle.com gathered up US Census spending data, info from credit card companies and "third party data providers" and figured out which American metropolis boasts the most shopping-crazy residents.

And the winner is...

Washington D.C.!

It's true: while the national average spent per month on clothes, shoes and other "wear" is $142.08, D.C. residents spend an average of $263.

Where's New York? Where's Los Angeles? Chicago? Miami?

Some of the major cities may be absent, we're guessing, because their populations include both the wealthiest and the poorest. In Manhattan, for example, one in five residents lives below the poverty line and the gap between the wealthy and the poor is the widest in the country (which sort of explains this).
