I bet the first nine on that list have much higher median incomes.

I actually was curious about this, so I did a very quick search for each.

1. Manhattan: $66k
2. Chicago: $66.6k
3. Westchester/Hudson Valley, N.Y.: $79.6k
4. Long Island, N.Y.: $93.7k
5. North/Central New Jersey: too vague to answer
6. Cape Cod, Mass.: $87.8k
7. Rhode Island: $56.2k
8. New York City, Outer Boroughs: too vague to answer
9. Palm Springs, Calif.: $45.4k
10. New Orleans: $48.2k

So of the 8 that could be looked up with a quick Google search, New Orleans is 7/8 in median household income.

I will say, having worked in a very popular wedding destination in Rhode Island, the vast majority of the people spending an absurd amount of money on weddings do not live there full time. They typically just have summer homes there. I'm sure that can be said about other places on this list though.
