I like how Boston's MSA doesn't rank that high for its population yet has one of the highest median incomes of any MSA in the country. Shows it does well without extremes of wealth. I've gotten the impression of it being a bit more down to earth and less showy of wealth than some of the other well-off "top" metros.
That long data list is inaccurate. There are more zipcodes in the Philadelphia area with average family income of 200,000 or higher.
Also this doesn't give a good representation of an area. Miami Detroit and Los Angeles for example have multiple zip-codes with that income, yet much of those cities and metro areas have so much blight. (Detroit metro is much nicer than the city though)

This is just precious. A guy from the Philly area is throwing LA under the bus for blight LOL.
Proud to be from Philadelphia. And where I live doesnt have the slightest amount of blight. So please dont insult me by saying im a poor urban person just because Im from Philadelphia. Ignorant statement.
Crows Nest, Indiana has the highest median family income in The United States?
No, they have the highest AVERAGE family income of any place located in a large US Metro/CSA. Yes that's what the Census Bureau reported in its 2010 findings.

Still, that is very surprising to me. I hear so much about Fisher's Island (#2) and how it is uber wealthy but have never heard of Crow's Nest. Very interesting. I wonder if there is one household that shoots the average up.

You also have to look at the total population for the area. Based on 2010 it looks like a total population of 75 people. So an average could be something like one person making 80 million and assuming roughly 33% work another 25 all making 50K and you would get an average of nearly 4 million per. Small populations can really get skewed by outliers - I suspect this may explain some of this here
Some of these lists are interesting as they show little earned income yet high taxes paid - likely capital gains. As much as you may not want to believe Philly and especially Main Line, and some Chester and Bucks County areas have some substantial wealth. Philly still has a ton of Industrial tust fund babys and one of the higher blue blood concentrations in the country

Yup, pretty much. I grew up near New Albany, OH. Billionaire Les Wexner lives there (founder of Limited stores, Victoria's Secret, etc) and built a small development of a handful of very expensive homes. It's basically farms with a tiny population, which includes one billionaire.
