The court pays over twice median household income for Washington DC. So he should have no problem affording to live there. On the other hand their pay is a bit low for what the job is. Inflation adjusted pay for the court has kind trended between 2x and 4x of current median household income so at a little above 2x it is on the lower end of historical. Perhaps a pay increase to 3x median income is reasonable.
