I don't know what the criteria were, but that seems odd to me. I would guess it must refer to net worth and not household income, as places like San Francisco and D.C., have much higher COL and average wages. DSM is a nice clean city and full of people who work in the financial and insurance sector, so probably good savers. I worked there for five years from 2003 to 2008, and stayed in an apartment downtown, while spending weekends at my lake home in Missouri.
