Tracking Wealth — The Richest Cities in Each PIA Western Alliance State

The U.S. Census Bureau tracks a lot of things. One of the most important of the many statistics focused upon is household income. The bureau keeps tabs on people with almost no income at all and on up to $250,000 a year.

If it’s above that, the bureau calls it $250,000+. Lower than $2,500, and it gets the designation, -$2,500 or lower.

Weekly Industry News took a long look at census bureau statistics and got the income of the wealthiest cities in each PIA Western Alliance state. The results are fascinating.
