Per Forbes.com
6. Newton, Mass.
Population: 81,975
Location: A Boston suburb to the west of the city.
Median income: $109,567
Strongest categories: Boston has one of the nation's highest concentrations of research universities and biomedical firms, and the intellectual property associated with those pillars spills into businesses in the surrounding area. Newton is one major beneficiary. It has one of the country's most highly skilled workforces, as defined by the BLS, and ranks eighth of places measured for its number of people with bachelor's degrees or better (71%).
Drawbacks: Incomes aren't quite as high as some other high-powered places on our list, and venture capital funding isn't as abundant, at only $608 per capita.
