Which Chester County Towns Are The 'Snobbiest' In Pennsylvania?

By KARA SEYMOUR and JUSTIN HEINZE

One of Pennsylvania’s “snobbiest” towns is located in Chester County, according to one new study.

Paoli was ranked third on the list.

Locally, Montgomery County has five towns on the list, including Blue Bell in first, followed by Collegeville in fourth, Fort Washington in seventh, Glenside in eighth, and Montgomeryville in ninth.

Let’s remember, though, it’s all in good fun.

According to roadsnacks.net, Pennsylvania’s top 10 snobbiest towns were assessed from those with a population of 5,000 or more.

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 Paoli:

This little community began in 1769, and it all started with an inn. From there, a few more buildings, a smattering of houses, and over 200 years later and a whole lot of money pouring in, Paoli is one of the wealthiest ‘burbs outside of Philly.

And if you’re an academic snob, this little community might just fit the bill. Paoli may be small, but it still manages to have the 7th most private schools per capita, and the 11th highest percentage of college grads. A Plus, Paoli.

The full top 10 ”snobbiest” towns include:

1. Blue Bell

3. Paoli

5. Swarthmore
