Maricopa County Movin' On Up Millionaire List...

Maricopa County movin' on up millionaire list, from the Arizona Republic, reports that Maricopa County ranks fourth in the United States in the number of millionaire households. It counts 106,210, or roughly 8.2 percent of all households, as having $1 million-plus in net worth. In 2006, Maricopa County ranked sixth. The information is from a report prepared by TNS Financial Services, a British market research firm. Los Angeles County took the top spot with 262,800 millionaire households, followed by Cook County in Illinois with 167,873 households. "You're a large county to begin with, and I would imagine that a lot of people retire to places in Arizona, particularly the Phoenix/Scottsdale area because the cost of living there is a little more favorable than a place like San Francisco," said Jeanette Luhr, manager of the study.
