There are 366 Metropolitan Statistical Areas of the United
States of America, so if you were to think what are the top 19
richest Nationwide what would you guess? First, we must break down
what statistics we are specifically looking at. This study coming
from The Atlantic looked at the average per capita personal income
in these broad-ranging areas, and some of the findings may surprise
you.
Boston came in at rank number 7, even ahead of New York City.
