LA Loses 7,000 Millionaire Households, Still Tops List

Just like last year, Los Angeles County comes out at the top of the list with the county with the most millionaires. However, as the Wall Street Journal notes, "Los Angeles County, while still in the lead, lost about 7,000 millionaire households."

Chicago's Cook County also lost around the same amount while Orange and San Diego Counties dropped slightly. All while Phoenix's Maricopa County gained 23,000 new millionaire households. Is that good for water use?
