- coltrane68, on 02/06/2008, -0/+3I question the methodology. Is median household income the best measure of "richest county"? Doing things this way eliminates the extremely wealthy Westchester, Fairfield, and Orange counties due to extremes in wealth in favor of upper middle class counties with more homogeneous incomes, explaining the preponderance of D.C.-area suburbs.
- wispygalaxy, on 02/06/2008, -0/+2I live in Hunterdon County (#4). =] But seriously, the property taxes are crazy. My family moved here because of the school system. In the suburbs, it's easy to become bored. My sisters always ask my parents if they can go to the mall to alleviate the boredom.
- Mockylock, on 02/13/2008, -0/+1I just moved from Loudoun after living in Reston. There's no doubt in my mind that this is correct. Given the amount of land, size of the homes and distance from downtown DC, shows that it's prime real-estate. Reston was created for the specific purpose to take advantage of it.
Not only that, but it's a very technologically advanced area. Reston and Sterling hold quite a few large corporation headquarters, as well as other booming tech companies. Top this off with Equinix and other data centers, feeding US networks and you've got quite a bit of salary when compared to available land. Stars and Sports icons all live in the same area due to the ability to build large homes and stay close to downtown DC (26-30 miles). - Error601, on 02/06/2008, -1/+2If you did it by average, wherever Bill Gates lived would be on top.
- Cfahooligan, on 02/06/2008, -1/+2I am from Loudon County. I find it hard to believe that Fairfax and Loudon are the number 1 and 2. But then again nearly everything on the list was from Maryland or Virginia. Loudon county had nothing but farm lands and then the tech industry came in and bought up all the land. I am guessing thats where all the higher incomes are coming from.
