[quote=Anonymous]Trying to avoid wealthy neighbors is, frankly, odd.  You're stereotyping, assuming that all wealthy parents raise their children poorly and impart bad values; you're assuming exposure to a well to do lifestyle is somehow going to have a negative influence on your own children. There is no basis for  believing either proposition is necessarily true.

You could just as easily assume that wealthier parents model behaviors necessary for success - ambition, education, determination, persistence, organization, flexibility, self-discipline, vision, and other behaviors sometimes absent in those who achieve less financially.

You seem to have forgotten that you have a role to play in imparting values to your children, who are exposed every day to behaviors and beliefs which you may find abhorrent and which have nothing to do with income or assets.

Forget about using income as a criterion in itself, and focus instead on objectively valuiable neighborehood attributes, like excellent schools, without regard to whether they are in high-income neighborhoods.  Consider, too, why such schools are usually/always in higher-income neighborhoods.
