leave a commentIf you are looking to retire or becoming fed up with America’s urban monstrosities, I wouldn’t suggest scampering off to a no-name small town too soon. My parents, when they retired, decided instead to explore the small-town-scene in Europe. They were especially keen on visiting the Czech Republic and after doing the normal stay in a Prague hotel, they rented a cabin in the countryside a bit from the city center. They were so enamored by the scenery and wealth of culture (something they were claimed was missing in America) that they decided to stay.
There is no Lake St. Louis Mississippi, I think you mean Bay St. Louis.
Papillion is all the way on the Eastern border of Nebraska. It’s an Omaha suburb.
Hello! Just a quick note — the placement of my city (Papillion, Nebraska) is way off on this map. Papillion is a suburb of Omaha, which is on the border with Iowa, not out in Western Nebraska as it has been placed here.
author didn’t do so well in geography class. nice towns for rich people.
Can someone clarify if the median income is individual or family? Just curious.
You seriously need to fix your map. There is no ‘Lake St. Louis’ on the Mississippi Gulf Coast… it is called ‘Bay St. Louis’ because it is nestled next to a bay of the same name. ‘Lake St. Louis’ is in Missouri. Knuckleheads.
I think the people from Money did not actually go to Superior, CO or Louisville, CO. They are practially the same town, and both are just northwest suburbs of Denver. They are the same town with a highway in the middle.
Sorry Eric Louisville and Superior are not suburbs of Denver. You might try learning some history of the communities before you make such ignorant comments.
Lake St. Louis (MISSOURI–not Mississippi) is NOT a “Small Town” by any means. It’s a rich and mostly exclusive suburban area . . . give me a break.
Congratulations! I hope you felt important when you didn’t read any of the comments before yours and were incidentally the third person to point out this tragic error. I hope you haven’t lost faith in humanity.
Yup, Louisville CO and Superior are the same city. When you’re there it’s basically the same 4 mile square block of suburb and each has their respective ‘downtown’ on opposite ends.
Are you really that stupid? Which coast did you invade Colorado from? Go back.
The small towns are located not to far away from big towns which is nice, one would be able to still go into the city and have fun without to much trouble.
The idea of living in small towns can appeal only to the Westerners. For most people who come from Asia, the appeal of relocation lies in cities, despite the clutter and chaos.
This is not because the country side isn’t serene or appealing, but because of the fact that development has not been uniform and bulk of the growth has been concentrated in cities. This is true of even rich and developed nations of Asia like S Korea, where Seoul represents the bulk of the country’s growth and development.
So if you are from Asia, and if you were to choose to live in small cities despite having the means to live in the bigger ones, it essentially means that you are opting for lesser facilities, lower standards of amenities and lesser quality of life.

Now who would want to do that intentionally?
This is what I always say I will do, but I never will do. Los Angeles, I love and hate you.
The front range is easily one the best places in America. Fort Collins is the spot.

Um, where the heck is Alaska on this map?? I think the author of this article forgot what year we’re in.
Other than that rather large oversight, I like the concept that’s illustrated here. I much prefer living in a smaller town than a large city. One day I will be able to escape the gravitational pull that Los Angeles seems to have on my life.

Anyone getting the Wrong Map?

Mukilteo, WA is home to the well off. People with family income in the upper 100000 to 200000′s or more. Really nice houses, great views, not very far from Boeing (Everett), great schools, near Seattle. But come on! You’ve got to be making some serious money to live there!
Sammamish, similar story. Both try to be small towns but are rather expensive for most people.
Hey Mint.com!
So, you let your users enter in their home address info and the estimated values of our homes but what good is that? The number remains static forever! We all know that is NOT the case!
Can you please connect to Zillow.com and whatever other real estate appraisal sites are out there so that we can get an accurate, updated ESTIMATE of the values of our property?
While you’re at it, could you also do that with the values of the cars we add to our accounts?
Thanks!
