Four Virginia localities are among the top 50 when it comes to per capita income.

Alexandria, Arlington County and Fairfax County, including Fairfax City and Falls Church, took the No. 12 through No. 14 spots with average incomes ranging from more than $70,000 to close to $68,000, respectively.

Goochland County just outside of Richmond was No. 36 with an average per capita income of $58,642.

The per-capita income estimates from 2007 were released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The list offers a snapshot of the distribution of wealth in the United States before the recession began in December 2007, the stock market tanked and unemployment skyrocketed.

Traditional financial centers like New York and Washington, D.C., continued to dominate the list.
