Talk:List of highest-income counties in the United States

Fairfax

Why is one city, Fairfax, listed among the counties? Fairfax County is already listed here. Messes up count for other counties. It should be dropped.Student7 (talk) 12:46, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

City of Fairfax is a separate entity from Fairfax County. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.151.13.7 (talk) 16:10, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

I agree that Fairfax statistics won't show up in any county. But why, then, don't you just entitle the article "Highest Income counties in the United States, including places that aren't in counties, like DC." Really off-WP:TOPIC IMO. Okay to include Fairfax in list of cities with high income. Clearly inappropriate here. Rename article if you want to include cities. Student7 (talk) 17:50, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

In Virginia Independent Cities are not a part of and are separate from Counties, the US Census Bureau and other agencies treat them as County Equivalents. Fairfax County and the City of Fairfax are two completely separate political entities. While the City of Fairfax is completely surrounded by Fairfax County it is not part of it and it's data should not be included within that of Fairfax County.

Please fix the numbers in this page, for example Nassau County, New York is given a value of 90,000 median income, but the census data says 72,000 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.126.96.225 (talk) 07:19, 20 December 2010 (UTC) Sorry, forgot to add... The same goes for Fairfax county, the census data shows a very different Household income (~40% off) and population size (~15% off) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.126.96.225 (talk) 07:23, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

San Mateo

The reference linked for the San Mateo County entry for 2012 does not support the value listed ($168,480). On the contrary, it lists Arlington County as "...the richest county in America" with a "median family income in 2012 [of] $137,216." The value for San Mateo county in 2011 is listed as $81,657, which would mean it more than doubled in one year. This is highly implausible. Whoever is responsible for compiling the 2012 table should review for accuracy. Drphysics (talk) 15:32, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

It should also be noted that the reference for San Mateo is for the "average", not the "median" income and the reference is inconsistent with the reference cited for all the other counties. San Mateo should be re-evaluated based on the actual 2012 America Community Survey results to be consistent with the methods used for all other counties. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sharpie2012 (talk • contribs) 19:16, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Oconee County, GA

Why does Oconee County, Georgia not appear anywhere on any of these lists? It's median income both household and per capita puts it pretty firmly on all of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.21.20.76 (talk) 19:14, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Double Howard county.

Howard county Maryland is listed twice in the per Capita list. I believe the higher number is correct. 2600:1003:B028:60:A132:A855:681D:72C8 (talk) 22:56, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
