These Are Now Minnesota’s Wealthiest Counties

Minnesota is a wildly diverse state with a lot of differences across its 87 counties. The state is home to the 16th-largest metropolitan area in the country as well as some very sparsely-populated counties that only have a few thousand people living there.

Heck, even the name "Land of 10,000 Lakes" and the state's reputation of being home to lakes and forests is only part of the story We also are home to sweeping prairies and farmland.

The state's economic situation also varies a lot, with the average household in some counties only making a fraction of those in other counties in Minnesota.

Based on the most recent data from the US Census Bureau, we have an updated look at the counties with the highest median household income across Minnesota.

To provide a bit of reference, the US Federal Reserve says the median household income across the entire country is $80,610, with the statewide median household income for all of Minnesota being $90,340.
