States That Had Zero Counties with a 10% or Greater Increase in Average Income over the Last Ten Years

Those are fascinating maps. Because I'm a Nosey Nancy with too much time on my hands, I took a look at the "Households Over $200,000" income map, to see just how astoundingly concentrated the megawealthy are, in places you or I (well, maybe YOU) could never, ever afford, ensconsed in mile upon mile of mansions, tennis courts, and estates:

I found, among others:

Bel-Air, CA 51%
Beverly Hills 51%
Carmel Valley, CA 25%
East Hampton, LI 22%
Greenwich, CT 49%
Grosse Point Shores, MI 37%
Hillsborough, CA 54%
Kenilworth, IL 59%
Naples, FL 44%
Pebble Beach, CA 23% (I kid you not)

The highest percentage of these "super-wealthy" earning >$200,000 per household that I located in my little survey was in New Canaan, where a whopping 62% surpassed the threshhold.

Which just proves the American Dream. You only need to earn $200,001 to live with the plutocrats. It also proves the logic of those long-lost Obama Administration tax hikes, but that's for another essay.
