Mostly dual income households (with kids) with white collar jobs (accounting, engineering, etc). Not difficult to have that income. I'm in the 66211 zip code, but not in Leawood. Wife and I are both engineers. My base income alone is more than that household. Household income is double that. The real kicker is ratio of home prices to household income. Schools are good here (no they don't teach creationism), low crime; You have to be nuts to live in SV. Though even the individual income is higher, so case of high $ SV single brogrammer vs dual income family does not hold. Interestingly, 66211 is very high with $443k AGI and $177k wage. The $443k AGI must be the the retired execs. http://www.city-data.com/zips/66211.html http://www.city-data.com/zips/66211.html
