Every state has cities and towns that are more affluent than other locations. These wealthy towns are known for their suburban communities, school districts, nearby bars and restaurants, and many other amenities.
But where are the richest towns in America? Stacker got curious and used the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data to find these well-to-do locations:
"Locations are ranked by the median household income, with ties broken by the percentage of people annually earning more than $200,000," according to the website. "Any towns with a population smaller than 1,000 people were omitted."
Stacker says the richest town in California is Monte Sereno:
"Perched on the outskirts of Silicon Valley, the residential Monte Sereno in California is a bedroom community that houses some of the brightest minds in the world. The entire community is residential, with no commercial activity. Residents use the retail facilities in nearby Saratoga and Los Gatos."
Here are the statistics of the town:
- Median household income: $250,000+
- Households earning over $200,000: 776 (68.8% of households)
- Median earnings for workers: $151,111 (male: $250,000+; female: $202,000)
- Civilian population with health insurance: 98.6%
- Unemployment rate: 3.7%
- Families with income below poverty level: 2.1%
