America's 1,000 Richest Neighborhoods
They're still largely concentrated in the older suburbs of just a handful of metro areas.
America's "one percent" are a privileged bunch. It takes an adjusted gross income of almost $400,000 to be counted among those who make up the country's top earners. Together, the top 1 percent account for nearly 20 percent of reported taxable income in the U.S.
Overall, the one percent are heavily concentrated along the East and West Coasts. And despite all the talk about gentrification and the movement of the uber-affluent back to the cities, their numbers are overwhelmingly concentrated in the upscale suburbs of America's increasingly bicoastal economy – places like Greenwich, Connecticut; Bethesda and Potomac, Maryland; Coral Gables, Florida; and Newport Beach, California.
