Methodology
To find out the wealthiest counties, SmartAsset measured three metrics: funding earnings, property worth and per capita earnings.
“We began the evaluation by calculating the Funding Index for every county by evenly weighing the Bizarre Dividends, Certified Dividends, and Web Capital Positive factors. From there we calculated the Median Residence Worth, and the Per Capita Revenue for every county, and ranked them on all three metrics,” SmartAsset wrote.
SmartAsset used knowledge from IRS SOI Tax Statistics, Zillow and the Bureau of Financial Evaluation.
