[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one disputes Howard and Loudoun are affluent suburban counties.

That the highest concentration of super expensive properties are in Montgomery, the district and Fairfax speaks volume and is the only actual "fact" we have on hand (although Loudoun has its impressive real estate around the Middleburg area, but that has a long history separate from the suburban growth of Loudoun in the last 20 years). The last sentence of yours is pure speculation.

It's like Manhattan. The average HHI in Manhattan isn't particularly high and is lower than many of the suburban counties, but the concentration of genuine wealth in Manhattan is indisputable.

All true, but in discussing the wealth of counties, you also have to add up all the more modest, but positive, net worths of Howard residents vs. the smaller, if not negative, net worthy of an increasing percentage of Montgomery residents. You also have to allow for the possibility that less of the wealth of residents of places like Howard and Loudoun may be tied up in local real estate.[/quote][/quote]

The other facts on hand obviously are those that prompted the thread: the counties with the highest HHIs in the country (for which data is available for many years).[/quote]
