Atherton, California, topped the list, owing to its proximity to Silicon Valley. On the opposite coast, Bloomberg notes that more than one-third of the country's richest households were located within 50 miles of New York City.

Bloomberg ranked a total of 6,200 communities, evaluating them for inflation-adjusted household income. All ranked communities had a minimum population of 2,000.
