It's nice to see how the other half lives. And to see where they live.
Movoto Real Estate recently ranked the top ten richest small towns in America.
The median household and median home value of communities with populations between 30,000 and 80,000 were ranked. Then those towns were judged on a variety of categories – luxury car dealers per capita, country clubs per capita, expensive jewelry stories, fine dining establishments, distance to the nearest polo field, distance to the nearest yacht club – you get the idea.
