Marin Ranked As One Of The Nation's Wealthiest Counties

Posted Jan 24, 2008 @ 1:33 pm, Viewed by 216 Visitors, Read 225 Times.

Once again Marin County has been recognized for its standard of living.  Forbes Magazine recently ranked Marin as being one of the wealthiest counties in the United States based on median household income.  Unlike other quality-of-life statistics, which may factor in per-capita income, median home-price, and cost of living, this survey is based solely on the household income, and places Marin County as the 15th richest county in the country.  

Real estate in Marin County also ranks high on a somewhat related Forbes list.  Last year nineteen cities in Marin ranked on the most expensive zip codes list. Homes in Ross California led the way with the ninth highest median home sale price in the nation. 

Ironically, relatively affordable housing can still be found in Marin.  Novato was recently named as being the “best affordable” suburb in California.  It truly does appear that Marin offers something for everyone.
