Check Out Every State’s Wealthiest Counties

On March 8, 2025, residents of the Hamptons, one of New York’s wealthiest areas, were forced to flee as fast-traveling wildfires threatened Long Island real estate. One local evacuee admitted, “We almost didn’t know if we were gonna get out of there.” Dozens of fire departments arrived in Suffolk County to fight flames from engulfing expensive houses along this beautiful coastal setting.

Though the wealthiest areas of the world, both in the US and beyond, are not exempt from such traumatic events, they do feature certain characteristics not seen in poorer regions. For example, the world’s wealthiest nations share a high GDP, advanced educational institutions, access to technology, and an above average standard of living. Citizens of these countries often enjoy a stable political climate, alongside a high quality of life. Two such countries are Norway and Switzerland, both of which consistently rank among the world’s richest countries. The United States is also at the top of this list, thanks to its collection of various industries and a successful economy.

Within America itself, certain areas stand out as wealthier than others. In fact, some specific locations are excessively wealthy, characterized by high-dollar homes and soaring income levels. These wealthy regions tend to be located on the coasts, with the East Coast’s New York City and the West Coast’s Silicon Valley being prime examples. However, no region is completely without wealthy hubs; they are sprinkled throughout the entirety of the United States. And within every state, you can find specific counties that are much richer than surrounding counties.

To identify the wealthiest county (or parish, in the case of Louisiana) in each state, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed median household incomes from the U.S. Census Burau’s 2022 American Community Survey.  Supplemental data on poverty, home values, and educational attainment are also from the ACS, and unemployment rates are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Additional data on cost of living is from the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the U.S. Department of Commerce. Only counties with populations of at least 1,000 were considered. Due to recent changes in county distinctions, ACS data for Connecticut is current as of 2021.

Why It Matters

Though it can be interesting and intriguing to review the wealthiest counties in America, it also sheds light on the income inequality that continues to grow in the United States. The space between the richest individuals and the poorest individuals is significantly wider today that at any other time in our history. The communities of America’s super wealthy are in some ways evidence of this ever-expanding gap in income and resources. While residents of the following counties enjoy access to education and healthcare, many of our nation’s poorest citizens do not.
