I was intrigued by Houston having a higher proportion of this demographic than New York is all. SF I figured but Houston sort of surprised me. I guess I shouldnt be surprised.
Ultra High Net Worth($30M+) ratio to 2010 CSA population
San Francisco 1 in every 1,765 people
Houston 1 in every 2,689 people
New York 1 in every 3,037 people
Dallas 1 in every 3,628 people
Washington 1 in every 3,727 people
Chicago 1 in every 3,798 people
Los Angeles 1 in every 4,109
Seattle 1 in every 4,744 people
Atlanta 1 in every 5,852 people
Boston 1 in every 8,493 people

Not surprised NY has the most billionaires in the world as well too.
Yeah, New York had 91 according to the latest Forbes Ranking, but Forbes only ranks 'working' billionaires so there are probably at least 50 more billionaires in New York who are heirs to huge family fortunes or are simply no longer running their companies(retired).
The reason why I say 50(and that might seem like a big number) is because the Bay Area has about 20 such persons that I know of, so NYC undoubtedly has at least twice as many.
I don't know, I thought so at first, but where does it say that??
The numbers made me think that it might be just city propers.
Their website:
Quote:
The study ranks the top ten metro areas in the United States by population of ultra high net worth (UHNW) individuals, or anyone worth at least US $30 million when accounting for shares in public and private companies, residential and investment properties, art collections, planes, cash and other investible assets.
I'd be more surprised if Houston and Dallas didn't make the list. Big money is not uncommon here.
Metro Areas with the most millionaires:
1.New York
2.Los Angeles
3.Chicago
4.Washington DC
5.San Francisco
6.Philadelphia
7.Boston
8.Houston
9.Detroit
10.San Jose http://www.sys-con.com/node/1905481
Top 10 cities in the world with the most Billionaires:
1. New York
2. London
3. Moscow
4. Hong Kong

I do believe it is Metros specifically because the article mentions that Bill Gates is part of Seattle's total, and he does NOT live within the city limits of Seattle.
Also, these cities all have tens of thousands of millionaires, this report only looks at those worth $30 Million or more and to have 500 persons of that net worth or higher is a huge amount let alone 1,000 or more.
I am extremely eager to see a $100 Million+ list. That would be more interesting than the Billionaires list imHo.
