…are totally absurd. And if you look up the stats for Los Altos or Atherton, they’re even more ridiculous (median income > $120,000).

What's really f'd up is the status calculator. A lawyer is considered a more prestigious occupation than CEO.
Of course, in these post-Enron days, they may be right!

Atherton is the highest income area in the nation (and highest housing price). It's CEO Central, so that's not surprising.

Well I think CA takes the cake on highest housing prices, but Potomac, MD 20854 has it beat on income :)

Yeah, I just checked 20850 (Rockville, MD, where I live) and the stats for income came in higher, surprisingly. But it doesn't look like Ramit lives *in* Atherton, but in the Valley close to Atherton. (Exact city - I don't know.) I'd like to see the exact numbers generated for Atherton, because I'm sure they make Potomac look small. Or at least, they are closer to Potomac, MD's stats than Ramit's neighborhood.
