The Richest US Towns to Live In

Dittmer
I was just recently wondering where all the rich people are living. So I decided to do a little research and complied it here for you all to see. It is very interesting to see that most of the highest-earning places are actually very small in population, which makes since so there isn't such a huge difference in earnings. Anyways, here are the top 20 Towns in the USA. Enjoy!
