1% all over USA except a few spots in NY (2%) :(

/me needs additional greed or the exchange rate of a few months ago for a better rating.

Edit: for those of you who were, like me, a bit confused about the purpose of the whole exercise: There's a related article at http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/15/business/the-1-percent-pai...

Did you zoom in to see your percent in DC? Wealthy area there, might not be the 1%...

All I can see there is Top 1% from $513,000

Zoom in and check out Stamford, CT.

Yes, as I said above, 2%

It doesn't seem like the areas are created equal; I'd expect a few more hotspots elsewhere (California), but so far I haven't found much, but then again "Data not available for metropolitan areas with fewer than 50,000 households."
