Most of Atlanta is either larger modern cityhood cities (creating a 1-5 square mile city stopped making sense post-1960), or small rural towns that got overran. The majority of suburban wealth outside of Fulton and DeKalb are unincorporated.

So the list is less a snapshot of which places have lots of wealthy people and more about which places have regressive structures of economic segregation in place.

Good posts.

Nope.

If those areas were within Houston city limits, then they wouldn't be separate cities, which they are.

They're within the periphery of the Houston city limits, which isn't the same thing.

If one outlined the periphery of the Houston city limits on a map with a highlighter, all of the Houston cities on the OP's list would be inside the highlighted area.

If all of those cities were like the OP's city (Piedmont is completely surrounded by Oakland), then one could say that those cities are completely surrounded by Houston, but that isn't the case. Each of the Memorial Villages is bordered by at least one other Memorial Village.
