From WCMH - A study found New Albany is the fifth wealthiest suburb in the U.S. that tracks precise income data. The study by BestWallClock Archive used U.S. Census data to locate America’s wealthiest suburbs. With a median income of $238,250, New Albany was the wealthiest suburb in Ohio and the fifth wealthiest in the U.S. that reports an entire income. Comparably, the Census lists Ohio’s median income at $71,389.
The study said New Albany’s wealth is “supported by planned community development and ties to major employers in Columbus, including finance and retail corporations.” The Census found nearly 90% of residents are homeowners and 99.2% of residents 25 and older are high school graduates, most of whom also have a college degree.
