NH Places with the Highest Net Worth

Published Tuesday May 7, 2019

Wondering where the state's rich people live? Rockingham County topped the list and Strafford was at the bottom, in a new study by SmartAsset. The map below highlights the places with the highest net worth. The study takes into account net worth as a percentage of income and net worth as a percentage of debt.

The study aims to find the places in the United States where residents have the highest net worth. To do this, SmartAsset calculated the ratio of net worth to per capita income for every county. This number can serve as insight into how much people have saved or invested relative to their income level. SmartAsset also calculated the ratio of net worth to debt per capita for each county. This measure incorporates a view of a county's debt burden relative to net worth. SmartAsset indexed each factor and calculated an overall index by taking a weighted average of each of these indices. The net worth to income index was given a weight of two and the net worth to debt index was given a weight of one.
