This Is The Richest Town In Washington State

Every state has cities and towns that are more affluent than other locations. These wealthy towns are known for their suburban communities, school districts, nearby bars and restaurants, and many other amenities.

But where are the richest towns in America? Stacker got curious and used the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data to find these well-to-do locations:

"Locations are ranked by the median household income, with ties broken by the percentage of people annually earning more than $200,000," according to the website. "Any towns with a population smaller than 1,000 people were omitted."

Stacker says the richest town in Washington is Clyde Hill! This is what writers said about the quaint town:

The residents of Clyde Hill are highly educated, with 40% carrying a master’s degree or higher. According to BestPlaces, the largest industries in Clyde Hill are health care, professional, scientific and technical services, and retail trade."
