Westchester County is a county located in the U.S. state of New York.
Westchester covers an area of 450 square miles (1,200 km2) and has a
population of 949,113 according to the 2010 Census, residing in 45
municipalities. It was named after the city of Chester in England, and the
county seat is White Plains.
The county's location puts New York City and Long Island Sound to its south,
Putnam County on the north, Connecticut on the east, Rockland County on the
west. Westchester became the first large scale suburban area in the world
to develop. Its significance as a suburb derived mostly from the upper-
middle class development of entire communities in the late 19th century, and
the rapid population growth that occurred as a result.
According to 2006 HUD data, the median income for a household of one person
in the county was $75,427 and the median income for a family of four was $96
,500.Westchester County ranks number two (number one being New York County)
for wealthiest counties in New York State and the seventh wealthiest county
nationally. Westchester County has long been associated with "old money" and
some of the country's wealthiest families for generations, along with other
places such as Greenwich, Connecticut, and Long Island's Gold Coast and
Five Towns. | c*******7 发帖数: 17225 | |
