How Many Millionaires Live in Braintree?

By CHARLENE ARSENAULT (Patch Staff)

Boston suburbs continue to top the list of towns and cities with the most millionaires, according to the latest report from the Massachusetts Department of Revenue.

The Boston Business Journal reported the towns and cities in Massachusetts with the most million-dollar income earners in 2013, which is the most recent year for which statistics are available.

Braintree came in 57 on the list. In 2013, there were 57 millionaire tax filers in Braintree. With a population of 36,727 and just 13.9 square miles within the town borders, that means there are 2.5 millionaires per square mile in town.

Put another way, there’s a millionaire for every 1,049.3 Braintree residents.

Wellesley, Cambridge and Brookline topped the list, with 726 millionaire filers in Wellesley at 71 per square mile.

Among the top 30, all but Milton and Natick continued to report year-after-year declines in the number of Millionaires, said the BBJ.
