Placer County was just named to the No. 43 ranking among the nation’s 100 wealthiest suburbs, according to a report released this week by Bizjournals, the sister company of the Sacramento Business Journal.  El Dorado County was No. 44.  Bizjournals created a nine part formula to determine the relative affluence of 291 suburban counties, seeking the places with the highest incomes, most expensive houses, lowest poverty levels, strongest educational backgrounds, and the most extensive ownership of stocks, rental properties and vehicles.  Placer County had per-capita income of $35,014 per year, while El Dorado County’s per capita income was $32,122. 

Placer and El Dorado counties are the wealthiest Sacramento area communities and in fact are the only ones that made the top 100.  There were four other Northern California counties in the top 30, all in the SF Bay Area.  The top 10 were led by New Jersey with three and Virginia and Maryland with two each.
