HomeSnacks (via Newsbreak) used the most recent census to see where the richest of the rich call home, and Frisco ranked third overall behind Centennial, Colorado and Cary, North Carolina. The site’s methodology behind finding the richest cities looked at how many residents live in poverty, income ranking and the percent of unemployed.
The census showed that most people who live in Frisco make at least $100,000 annually with the population sitting just above 188,000. The study compared 306 cities that have at least 100,000 residents.
But when money moves into town prices go up. The cost of living in Frisco is 1.2x higher than the national average. According to Best Places, the average home in Texas costs around $243,600, while the average home in Frisco costs a staggering $509,200.
But Frisco’s wealth isn’t the only appealing factor. The unemployment rate is at a low 3.7% with a 4% poverty rate. Frisco’s crime rate is almost 55% below the national average, with property crime being the most common in the area.
