LA Loses 7,000 Millionaire Households, Still Tops List

How Many Millionaires are there in Los Angeles, California?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?

1. Los Angeles Co., CA. 261,081
2. Cook Co., Il. 168,422
3. Maricopa Co., AZ. 126,394
4. Orange Co., CA. 115,396
5. Harris Co., TX 107,513
6. San Diego Co., CA. 100,727
7. King Co., WA. 75,616
8. Santa Clara Co., CA. 72,932
9. Nassau Co., NY 71,869
10. Suffolk Co., NY 71,343

California takes four out of the ten cities listed. Add in King County and the West Coast dominates it at 50%.

See last year's list here.

this is a serious loss to the Los Angeles cultural landscape...we need to do something about this! SaveOurMillionares.org anyone? "Having Lots of Money is Not a Crime!"

 

If anyone knows what happened to my millionaire, please let me know ASAP!
