How many millionaires live in San Francisco?

Anyone know? Or have any ideas about where I can look? I checked the census figures, but the highest income bracket they listed was “200,000 or more.”

Let me tell you being a millionaire is no big deal. I imagine there are too many in San Francisco to count. Remember Bucky Hunt said “If you know how much you’re worth, you’re not worth very much.” :stuck_out_tongue:

And income is not really an indicator of being a millionaire. You could own a million dollar penthouse and work a part-time job for $25,000 a year. Or you could earn $5,000,000 a year and blow it all on crack and hookers.

No one has ever stated my dreams so clearly before …

Wealth data tends to rely on thinner samples than income data. I’m guessing that the SIPP or the Fed’s Survey of Consumer Finances won’t help you much.

I don’t remember whether the census asks wealth questions: my guess is that it doesn’t.

If you do find a useful wealth indicator in the census long form, you could try using PUMS directly. Be sure to get at least a rough indication of what sampling errors you are working with.

In the end, I suspect that you may have to reframe your underlying question.
