The website created a point system to rank median home price, median household income, percent of population with a college degree and a few other pieces of criteria.

According to the site’s description of Montgomeryville:

Montgomeryville sure don’t sound too snobby; it sounds like someplace out of the backwoods of Arkansas, to be frank.

But clearly, seeing as though the median income is over $100,000, and, well,Montgomeryville is in Pennsylvania, it’s not. In fact, according to our criteria, it’s downright snooty.

Best of all for our snooteriffic residents, with such a high median income and a home price of $320,700, Montgomeryville is actually pretty affordable (again, if you’re making what most residents here make.)
