List of highest-income counties in the United States

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Per capita income by county

There are 3,144 counties and county-equivalents in the United States. The source of the data is the U.S. Census Bureau and the data is current as of the indicated year. Independent cities are considered county-equivalent by the Census Bureau.

Summary[edit]

Before the American Civil War, the wealthiest counties were primarily located in Louisiana and Mississippi, because of the high number of enslaved people, who were not included in the population.[1]

Loudoun County, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C., is the highest-income county by median household income. Another Washington, D.C. suburb, Arlington County, Virginia, ranked as the highest-income county by median family income as of 2013.[2]
