Poorest areas in Essex County, Mass are the inner city urban areas of Lynn and Lawrence
Wealthiest areas are the exurb/semi rural towns - colonial and colonial revival homes on 2 + acre lots and very equestrian, some gentlman farmers: Hamilton-Wenham, Boxford, Newbury-West Newbury.
Almost no one (esp outsiders) knows what is one's precise net worth on any given day (or even year-end)
Uncomfortable question for commies is: what high-income job-relevant skills do these alleged poors have? Who said life has ever been fair? Do poors have weak DNA or weak parental values? So why should other presumably responsible, hardworking taxpayers be forced to redistribute wealth to those who were born w/weak DNA and/or made poor education/career choices in life? Kids/pets are a discretionary lifestyle choice, right? And why are so many of wealthiest in SiliconValley or Manhattan whites/Jews/Indians who grew up in middle-income suburbia somewhere but earned their own way up socio-economic ranks, despite alleged discrimination....without needing welfare or affirmative action to "solve" any possible DNA/parental/cultural-inspired weaknesses?
The wealthiest area in my county, Douglas County, CO may be the Pradera or Pinery neighborhoods in Parker, Diamond Ridge in Castle Rock, or southern Castle Pines. In terms of census tracts, the wealthiest is the southern Castle Pines tract ($156,000).
The "poorest" (yeah right) areas include the older areas of Castle Rock around downtown ($57,000) and older areas of Parker ($52,000).
Poorest in my county (Monmouth, NJ) are probably in parts of Asbury Park. Wealthiest are probably in Navesink, where Bon Jovi lives, and Colts Neck, where Springsteen lives.
I have had drunken diffulculty finding information on Middlesex County, Massachusetts but I feel safe in assuming the poorest is Lowell and the wealthiest is Weston.
