These are the 5 counties in Pennsylvania with the highest median adult net worth. Rankings are produced by a proprietary financial model that our company uses to identify possible real estate investments. The model takes as input census data, IRS tax return statistics, real estate listings & transaction histories, and more.

#5 Northampton County

This Allentown suburb county has a population of 313,000 and a median household income of almost $77,000. This is only about 7.5% more than the U.S. national median.

The highest earners in the area are engineers working for manufacturing companies.

#4 Delaware County

This Philadelphia suburb borders both New Jersey and Delaware (state). Median household income is $80,000, and the highest earners are lawyers who have a median income of $107,000.

#3 Bucks County

Bucks is both the third safest and the third wealthiest county in the state. Median household income is just under $98,000, and the highest earners are business managers who have a median income of just over $101,000.

#2 Montgomery County

Median household income in Montgomery is very similar to Bucks, but the lawyers here get paid substantially more (they have a median income of almost $120,000).

#1 Chester County

Rounding out our list is yet another Philly suburb, but one which is substantially wealthier than the others we’ve seen. Median household income is almost $110,000, and the highest earners are again lawyers, but in Chester they have a median income of almost $130k.
