The survey included more than 9,400 cities, incorporated towns, villages, boroughs, and census-designated places with at least 1,000 households.
In Ladue (3,135 households) and Frontenac (1,287 households), almost 70 percent of the towns' households had an income of more than $100,000, and, in Town & Country (3,550 households), the number was close to the same at 66 percent. Conversely, 39 percent of St. Louis City households had an income of less than $25,000.
