The financial news service Bloomberg created a list of the 50 wealthiest small towns in America and only one is in Florida: Key West.
The southernmost city ranked 13th on the list. The index was created by measuring median income, percentage of households with income of more than $200,000, median home value and percentage of homes valued at more than $1 million.
Most of the top 20 are western ski resorts in Utah and Colorado. A few others are northeastern enclaves, like Vineyard Haven in Massachusetts.
The list measured "micropolitan areas" with populations of 10 to 50,000 people. Key West has a population of about 25,000.
With a booming tourism industry and high demand for the limited supply of real estate, Key West struggles to provide housing for professional and service-sector workers. According to the Bloomberg index, the median home value in Key West is $381,000 — with 11.3 percent of the homes valued at more than $1 million.
It's not the first time Key West has been a national leader in wealth. During the 19th century, when the island prospered from shipwreck salvaging and cigar manufacturing, it was also one of the country's wealthiest cities, per capita.
