We beat out areas like Jackson Hole, Steamboat, and Martha&#8217;s Vineyard.<\/p>\n<p>The index is based on geographic regions with between 10,000 and 50,000 people, the share of households making more than $200,000 or more, median home values, and the share of homes worth more than $1,000,000.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bloomberg we have a median household income of $83,000, 14.4% of our households make more than $200,000, and 13% of our homes are worth more than a million dollars. Bloomberg attributes this to both our ski slopes and the fact that tech giants like Ebay, Adobe, and a plethora of startups are down in the valley (and this is where their high paid\u00a0employees live).<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s also interesting is that Heber is #8. I somewhat tend to think of Heber as a second-class citizen (unfairly, of course). Yet, I hear more and more about a lot of high-end tourist destinations being built there. This seems to be confirmed that a number of wealthy people have decided to make it their home as well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.parkrag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/richsmalltowns.png\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4446\" src=\"http:\/\/www.parkrag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/richsmalltowns.png\" alt=\"richsmalltowns\" width=\"720\" height=\"650\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bloomberg created an index that judges the richest small towns in America and Summit, Utah came out on top.
