Whoa, towns in Nassau County dominate NY's top 9, Scarsdale in Westchester County is #10.

The winner was Hewlett Bay Park, NY (Nassau County, Long Island).

Wealth measured how? Net worth? Household income? Per-capita income? Home values per dwelling unit? Home values per square foot? Real estate values per lot size?

By any of these metrics, if I had to guess without looking, in Illinois I'd say it's either Bannockburn or Kennilworth.

In any cat. Kenilworth always wins, so I would put Kenilworth in as IL top city followed by Winnetka.

I would use per capita or household income.
