Personally interesting, well maybe not to me but like what many say on the NJ grey space that is the connection fo NYC and Philly and not really either or in the Hunterdon NJ write up "In Hunterdon, commuters are split between New York City and Philadelphia."
All of these counties will be small affluent suburban
small?
Fairfax is over a million residents I believe
West Chester and Somerset and Morris are decently sized probably 500K-1 Million
Loudon is probably also in the 500-1,000K group
though agree they are basically mostly suburban. Fairfax is pretty developed though. much would be similar density to the west bay (developed portion)
So at least half of these i would hardly call small
Also somewhat interesting to me is that Somerset, Morris, and Hunterdon NJ (all in the top ten) basically make up a lot of the 287 Pharma corrider in NJ

Loudon went from 169,000 to 312,000 in the last census, all upper middle class suburban
Fairfax is the same but bigger 2782/sq mi
(not the same as west bay, the peninsula cities range from 2500 to 13000 (DalyCity), most are in the 4600-6000 range, of course theres designated open space on the hills)
Nantucket....we know what that is
Somerset is sprawling 300,000
Morris 490k
Pitkin 17k
Marin 252,000
Yes they are all suburban upper middle to high income or resort area. Smaller also meaning size which means they have not as much diversity of income range. Its part of the old arguments about how the big cities of the east are very dense and then very low density development outside the main urban areas. Those areas are pretty wealthy. If you take a county like Orange County California which is considered generally affluent, it is much larger and has large moderate income areas that would take the average income down
And what do most of those counties have in common?
They either heavily depend on government spending or they're in blue states.
