Notice they don’t count DC where real money is made on the backs of the taxpayer.

Interesting about Piney Point, TX. I would have expected Highland Park, TX.

Clyde Hill is where Bill Gates lives. Remove him from the picture and it would probably be Mercer Island. Where Paul Allen lives, but also where most of the “serious money” is in Seattle.

Nebraska looks nice. I’ll bet those are some real people.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I notice all these towns appear to be just outside of large cities.
Maumelle AR must be leeching off Little Rock Ar as I figured a stand alone affluent town here would be BENTONVILLE and ROGERS Arkansas (Walmart HQ).

some states didn’t even hit six figures

Short Hills NJ is just wrong. It used to be. Not anymore. Look northward into Morris County.

I bet Indian River Shores FL is mostly made up of the very upscale Orchid Island. Parks, vacant scrub land, and one gated community of huge homes and horse rings and polo area. Prince Charles visited here and OJ had planned to come here after his trial. Seems he was voted out after the false name purchase was discovered upon registering his children for a local private school.

I have to call BS. On this one. Bethany Oregon? Surely Dunthorpe, Alameda or Lake Oswego ‘burbs have a higher income.

[bigbob]

I call BS on the North Dakota number. No way is the most affluent town not in the Bakken region. And with a State GDP now 29% higher than the national average, there’s no way it is not over 6 figures. Old data, most likely.

Nichols Hills is a large neighborhood in the middle of North Okc that wants to call themselves a city. They don’t even have a middle or high school. No section 8 housing allowed, inflating their numbers.

I thought New Canaan,CT was a bit wealthier than Darien.Of course neither town has a whole lot of people who qualify for food stamps.

Most of these places I never heard of.

Paul Fussell, who wrote a lot of books twenty or so years ago, had a theory that really rich people -- the "top out of sight rich" he called them -- didn't have to show off their wealth and could afford so much privacy that they were almost invisible.

Or maybe it's just that some of them are big fish in small ponds.

Bell Meade, TN is not a town. It’s just a section of Nashville.
