DC dominates the richest cities and richest counties lists.

Not bad.

Also not bad for Charlotte, especially considering how cheap the cost of living is there.

I believe the population threshold is 400K or 500K, so cities like Minneapolis, Miami and Atlanta (among others) won't make the list.

The problem is that counties and cities aren't equivalent across states. DC isn't among the wealthiest metros, but it has many small counties with upper middle class wealth, so it always shows up well in these types of comparisons. Falls Church and Arlington are hardly wealthy, even within the context of DC metro.

DC's population as of today is 672,000, not 618,000. The population numbers are a little out of date.

El Paso? Albuquerque? No Santa Fe?

Are they sure? We (ABQ) couldn't even pay to build a proper flyover ramp (the final one is completely botched).

El paso I can at least believe; they're building full-scale interchanges left and right, the kind that cost about as much as a moon landing.

Not really all that surprising - with San Francisco topping the list and places like Boston, Denver, San Jose, Seattle and Washington DC doing well in education and incomes.

Houston is wealthier than Dallas, in spite of the perception (at least what I've read here on C-D) that Dallas is supposedly the more affluent/white collar city.

The list contains Phoenix, Dallas, Los Angeles etc... I don't think there is a population threshold.

But Houston has oil money
