    Are those income numbers based on tax returns? If so, then the data is meaningless to me. My adjusted gross income after deductions is much lower than my non-adjusted gross. The people in Beverly Hills might have good accountants which makes their income on tax returns look much lower so they pay less taxes.

    U.S. Census Bureau data. My guess is, it is probably before taxes to avoid the problem you mentioned.

    Naples, SD & Valley Park, OK make no sense. If people makes so much money why would they not spend a little bit more on where they live. I assume the ownership rate in those places is over 90%
    spending too little money on your residence is just as silly as spending too much

    Both Naples & Valley Park are very small hamlets. Just a couple of folks are very rich skewing the statistics. The towns that merit attention are Huntsville & Broken Arrow. Some one moving there can seriously improve their standard of living, at least statistically!.

    if one very rich person moves into town, it won’t affect the median. It’ll affect the mean but not median.
    so at least 1/2 the town has to be wealthy.

    1/2 the town

    = 3 families; Probably a rich farmer and his two sons, all in a village of 24 people!
