Do you live in the richest county in the state?
Georgia is home to many close-knit communities offering unique experiences everywhere you turn, from the peace that comes with living in a small town to the exciting bustling nature of the big city. However, the price tag of each town can vary widely depending where you search.
According to a list compiled by GOBankingRates, the "richest county" in all of Georgia is Forsyth County, which has a median household income of $116,571. Not only is Forsyth the richest county in the Peach State, but it ranks No. 8 on the list, making it one of the wealthiest counties overall.
Here's what the personal finance site had to say about determining its list of the richest county in every state:
"The [...] numbers are based on the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey for 2021, the most recent available. Our list counts down by state, lowest numbers to highest. We've also included each county's largest cities and/or towns by population, based on U.S. Census data. For some additional perspective while you browse, keep in mind that the real median income across the U.S. in 2021 was $70,784, according to the United States Census Bureau. That was down slightly from the 2020 figure: $71,186."
