Based on the latest data available, Mountain Brook is now one of the nation's 10 most prosperous communities, according to a University of Montevallo professor who has studied new Census Bureau figures. Stephen Higley, a professor of urban geography, maintains a Web site charting the nation's most affluent neighborhoods. Using recent numbers from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey, Higley says he has determined that Mountain Brook is America's ninth wealthiest community.That's based on his examination of average household income for communities with at least 20,000 residents. Household income averaged $210,089 in Mountain Brook, according to data compiled from 2005 to 2007.
