That is 85 and he had 88 on his list.
It may be more than 6 states since most of the others surrounding have 1 or 2.
Are both lists drawn from the same data and the same year? These are seriously skewed statistics if that's what's happened. I wonder if it's the same for the other major cities as well.
Interesting....So, can the other areas be skewed by including counties that are not necessarily in the metros of those other areas? Those numbers could be inflated as well then.
I was only going off state numbers. I am not sure how he came up with the numbers but it had to include the states I listed while all the other metros may have a couple of counties outside the area counted, not additional states and certainly not 5 more states.

Isn't this really about the ORIGINS of the elite? We're talking about where they hail from. The north shore of Long Island has to be in the top 3. All those gatsby-era people/stories hail from the gold coast of LI.

I'll have to check my numbers now because I had 56 but the map is saying 66

I can see adding counties in other states to the NYC area if it's Fairfield County CT or Bergen County NJ, but once you go into PA, your getting more into the CSA of a city.

Well I had 56 but after the other post I checked and it is 66 for NY State that would still be 22 to make up. With 10 in CT and 6 in New Jersey it still leaves it 6 short.

The origins of the future elite would not be from the Gatsby era.
People didn't really start to get really wealthy until the 1910s and 20s.
No. Just no. You should know this a lot better given how much earlier wealth in the 19th century has impacted the NYC landscape. You are blindly grasping at some kind of clever retort, hoping for something to stick.
Also, it's obvious what the OP is asking if you actually read the original post.
Ypu could easily say that the origins of great wealth come from the Boston Brahmins, and the old society families of Philadelphia, and the southern aristicocracies of Virginia, which were then transformed somewhat after the Civil War, with the industrialists ( Rockerfeller, Vanderbilt, Carnegie, etc)..
