Where do the wealthiest people live?
The country’s wealthiest people live in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. At least, that’s according to a story written by Matt Woolsey for Forbes.com. Woolsey compiled a list of the nation’s richest counties. You can read it, and its accompanying story, here.
Fairfax County, Va., Loudon County, Va., and Howard County, Md., all suburbs of Washington, D.C., top the list as the three wealthiest counties in the country, based on 2006 median household income.
In Fairfax County, the median household income comes in at $100,318 a year. In Loudoun County, that figure is $99,371. In Howard, the figure is $92,260.
This is another great list from Forbes, whose editors delight in publishing such snapshots of American wealth. Just be careful reading it: You may get a little jealous.

So do they actually live there? I guess there must be a big difference in housing cost within each county. I would imagine with all the politiians in DC that there would be some more expensive homes in outlaying areas.
I get what your saying.
