The Richest Counties in America
The U.S. may be still struggling with the Great Recession’s effects, but that doesn’t mean that every part of the country is struggling. In fact, many Americans are living well above the poverty line. But where exactly are they?
Median Household Income: $101, 940
It’s easy to see how Howard County found its way into the top three richest counties. Almost half of its 166,113 working residents make $75,000 or more. Also, 30.4% of its employed population actually makes six figures. And if you measure by household income, the picture gets a whole lot wealthier: 51.7% of households collectively earned $100,000 or more during the 12 months prior to the survey.
