5. Fairfax, VA

Three of America's most affluent counties are found in Virginia, with Fairfax being the second of them. Fairfax was the very first county in the country to reach a median household income of more than six figures. As well as being the base for seven Fortune 500 companies, Fairfax is also a hotbed of cultural festivals with "Celebrate Fairfax!" and the Northern Virginia Fine Arts Festival bringing further income to the county. Fairfax households have a median income of $118,279 with more than 1/5 of them earning more than $200,000. However, the cost of living is generally higher at $17.44, and this shows in only 67% of residents owning their own homes.
