This cant possibly be the average can it?

10004? Really? Surprised it has more than 1,000 people, first of all, and secondly kind of defies the stereotype that the Financial District is full of recent college/b-school graduates working for the financial industry, making significant money but not millions. I wonder who the $1M earners living there are. The bigwigs of the financial industry I would think would have no desire to do so.

Median income would be a more useful statistic. (Coming from a below-average income denizen of #19)

I used to work in 10004.  It is really is surprising.  Maybe they're counting sleeping in your office or 10004's population is disproportionately a few high rises.

Given that the data is almost ten years old and the Great Recession has intervened, it would be interesting to see a new list.

I assume everybody can figure out why Incline Village is on the list, right?

That's the town on Lake Tahoe where a bunch of California wealthies claim to live so they can evade CA taxes, right?



Also, on the topic of 10004, take a look at the available real estate. Definitely fits the listed income.

Bingo!  If you have to live in NV to escape taxes, Incline Village is about the only tolerable alternative. I have been telling one of my clients to seriously consider it.
