NEW YORK, NY - NOVEMBER 01: The Midtown skyline remains lit as Lower Manhattan remains mostly without power on November 1, 2012 in New York City. Millions of customers in New Jersey and New York remain without power following Superstorm Sandy as colder weather approaches. The storm has claimed at least 90 lives in the United States, and has caused massive flooding across much of the Atlantic seaboard. U.S. President Barack Obama has declared the situation a 'major disaster' for large areas of the U.S. east coast, including New York City. (Photo by Afton Almaraz/Getty Images)

Looking to run into a lot of rich people? Head to Washington, D.C.

Some U.S. metropolitan areas are far richer than others, according to a new report from the Census Bureau. For example, 14.1 percent of households in the Washington, D.C., area are in the top 5 percent of incomes nationwide, while just 3.9 percent of San Antonio-area households are in the top 5 percent. Incidentally, the richest metropolitan areas are all on the country's coasts.
