Ever heard of Summit Park, Utah, or Edwards, Colorado? Maybe not, especially if you're not an avid skier or snowboarder. Ski resorts, however, aren't the only thing these places have in common—they're also among the wealthiest small towns in the U.S.
The map below shows the 20 micropolitan areas (about 10,000 to 50,000 in population) that ranked the highest in Bloomberg's index of small town wealth, which combines measures of household income and home values. The home of Park City Mountain Resort in Utah ranked first with a median household income of $83,336 and median home value of $485,700. Edwards ranked second, with Jackson, Wyoming close behind.
