The county directly north of NYC bordering the Bronx. Westchester only seems as rich as it is because of the half of the towns/villages including Bronxville, Chappaqua, Scarsdale, Rye, Bedford, etc. The other half are mainly middle class but can't help but feel poor when they are always being compared to the places listed above when in fact as someone pointed out these towns would seem wealthy to the rest of the country but in the New York Metro area they are very middle class since the cost of living is so high that everything including income is higher in this area. It is a great place to live because there are many diverse places in WC, like Yonkers, White Plains etc. btw most of Yonkers is very middle class and liveable save the southwest corner which is very much so a ghetto. Also Eastchester is not "super rich" as stated above the median income there is lower than other towns considered "middle class" Hastings, Pleasantville, etc.
