My wife is a CPA, and finds it not uncommon to have clients with a multiple of our annual income, and a fraction of our net worth. It's really easy to do. New S-class Merc every couple of years, multi-thousand dollar clothes shopping sprees 2-3 times a year, live-in nannies, huge houses requiring lots of maintenance and utilities, European vacations, etc.

Not one of those zips is in Ohio...

I remember hearing as a kid that Upper Arlington (sub of Columbus) and Shaker Heights (sub of Cleveland) were among the wealthiest communities in the US. That was 30+ years ago. Guess times have changed.

My cat was a 10021 lliberal until his former owner
came to see my neighbor and left him. I took him
and he is now a conservative San Diego cat.

WHEW! I'm glad they used skewed and dry statistics and ignored my county! We don't need the blue staters moving in here.

When and where in all of world history has a prosperous nation had its 0.2% richest elite a mere 3 times wealthier than the 99.8% average of the rest of said nation?!

Keep in mind this is based on the net worth of people living in the wealthiest zip codes.

The net wealth for the richest 1% was over $10,000,000 in 1998.

As opposed to Algore, a shrewd entrepreneur would come up with a marketing plan to find a product or service that people living in these areas want that isn't currently being provided sufficiently.

The average is only one piece of information - on its own, it's not all that helpful. Knowing the shape of the distribution (Gaussian, bimodal, something else altogether...) is very important.

Exactly!!! And also, the type of average is important... was it a geometric mean? a mode? median? arithmetic mean?

Everytime the RATS villifies the richest 1%, they are insulting themselves.
