Periods of recession and economic boom are key factors on the overall wealth of a state. The typical American family earned $53,657 in 2014, while in Wyoming, the median family income was $72,460. Wyoming’s household income is well above the national average. This is a compilation of the richest cities, or maybe I should say almost-cities, also known as census designated areas.
