So there's nowhere in the US where the value of money is less than Washington DC - that makes perfect sense . . .

Funny, I had to look up the town in my state (Ladera, CA). Turns out it's about an hour from where I've lived for over 50 years and I've never heard of it. 283 acres total - not much of a town, but well educated!

I suspect 99% of the residents graduated from and/or work at Stanford.

Nichols Hills, OK , which leads in both income and education and occupies two square miles in north OKC about five miles from downtown, was a country club suburb developed about 90 years ago as a retreat for the old rich from the original old rich neighborhood established after state hood about a mile from downtown.
It is still an incorporated city but has been surrounded by OKC and leapfrogged by several equal or ritzier developments but is still THE place for subsequent generations of the original families.

I'm calling BS. I've never heard of it, and I lived right there for 4 years. Apparently (reading wiki) it is a well-heeled residential area of about 1500 [for Stanford PhDs].

Unless I missed something, according to this map, there isn't a single brand that is the most Googled brand in more than one state. I find that very hard to believe.

I'm calling BS on Skyy Vodka being the MOST googled brand (of ANY kind) in Oklahoma. MAYBE if you limit it to just vodka brands.
