Richest US Counties by Median Household Income

The richest counties in America cluster around major employment hubs, especially the Washington DC suburbs (Loudoun, Fairfax, Howard), Silicon Valley (Santa Clara, San Mateo), and outer suburbs of New York City (Nassau, Somerset, Morris). Median household incomes in the wealthiest counties routinely exceed $130,000, more than double the national median. These communities share common attributes: high educational attainment, concentrations of professional and knowledge-economy workers, excellent public schools, and extreme housing costs that act as a filter for the already-affluent. Understanding where America's highest incomes are concentrated illuminates regional economic disparities and helps explain migration patterns of professional workers.
