"Six of the Top 20 richest counties are in Northern Virginia. That gives Virginia twice as many counties in the Top 20 as any other state."

Richest counties in the U.S.:

1. Loudoun County, VA
2. Falls Church City, VA (independent cities are treated as counties)
3. Fairfax County, VA
4. Howard County, MD

The real shocker is that Montgomery County, MD has crashed all the way to 19.



Sadly not surprising. Being a sanctuary area plus Ike Leggett and his crony council, have driven a lot of people out of here. Why do you think MoCo term limits passed with flying colors? We are tired of the same old bullshit that is crushing this once great area.


Sadly, it's too late now. No turning back.

Agreed. Howard County ranks highly because it's a very solidly middle to upper middle class county with relatively few low income residents, unlike MontCo, which has many high networth households but also a large working population, especially in the eastern part of the county. MontCo is much more diverse. On paper Howard may have the higher average income, but MontCo definitely has a much higher concentration of wealth.


That is changing, but people hang on to their old beliefs.


The only really interesting one is Fairfax. Loudoun county, Falls Church City and Arlington are all quite small in population size and the latter two in size.

The way Montgomery county is, is not the same as the once great place to live and raise a family. a few more years and we are out of here. It is falling apart at the seams, cater to the lowest common denominator and have a belief that if you are successful you should be a cash register for the rest of the county while your area crumbles.

How is this shocking?


Because you could have a modest income and a high net worth (wealth), or a high net worth and a modest income.

Given that these Virginia counties have been showing up as those with the highest median household incomes for years, however, there are undoubtedly many high net worth households as well.


Mangled the first part - you could have a high income and a modest net worth (if, for example, most of your income went to paying off student debts).
