Rockville Centre is 3rd 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.

Rockville Centre came in at No. 3 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.

But, RoadSnacks says, “Don’t get your Uwe Koetter panties in a twist though – we’re not saying that there’s anything wrong with any of these places. In fact, if you’re well-educated, well-paid, and highly cultured, good for you!”

Here’s what RoadSnacks wrote about Rockville Centre:

Population: 24,009

Median Household Income: $112,268

Median Home Price: $605,000

Step one in being a snob: spelling “center” like “centre” even though, like it or not, you are in America – not the 1700s, and not Buckingham Palace.

Step two: spending more money on your home than most Americans would spend on three.

Step three: Being better educated and better paid than most anyone in the country.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

If Bethenny Frankel decides your village is good enough for her needs, then it must be a snobby place.
