Melville is 5th Snobbiest Place in New York, Website Says

Seven of the top 10 ”snobbiest” places in New York are located on Long Island, if you believe new rankings released by RoadSnacks.

Melville came in at No. 5 on the list, which the infotainment website says it created by making a list of all of the places in New York with 5,000 people or more, and then looking at each in terms of these snobby criteria:

• Median home price (higher is snobbier)
• Median household income (higher is snobbier)
• Percent of population with a college degree
• Private schools per capita (higher is snobbier)
• Theaters per capita (higher is snobbier)
• Art galleries per capita (higher is snobbier)

“There are certain parts of the country where residents and snootiness go together like a snob and a superiority complex,” the website says.

Here’s what RoadSnacks wrote about Melville:

Population: 19,043

Median Household Income: $110,125

Median Home Price: $506,300

Melville is actually a lovely little community, filled with lovely, if not slightly snobby residents. But why shouldn’t they be? They make more money per year than many people spend on a home, the residents are well educated, and many of them have more culture in their pinky fingers than many of (us) have in our whole beings.

So bravo, bravo, to Melville.
