I was reading the news the other day and came across this little tid-bit. The report is about the top Wealth Centers in the United States and it polled information from the US Census Bureau to create a formula to analyze the relative affluence of over 2,000 cities, incorporated towns and unincorporated urban areas with populations of 15,000 or more.
Four communities in the tri-county area (Sacramento County, Placer County and El Dorado County) made the top 250 with Granite Bay, CA breaking in to the top 20 at number 18 on the list. The other cities were El Dorado Hills, Fair Oaks and Folsom (at numbers 57, 240 and 247 respectively).
Factors such as median home price, income, education and vehicle ownership among other things were taken into account.
Check out the full article and more information at the Sacramento Biz Journal . It is an interesting read.
