(Stacker) Data shows that annual income depends heavily on an individual’s educational attainment, race, ethnicity, gender, and even location.

Geography is a substantial factor in earning potential: According to the USDA, those with a high school diploma or more education earn more in urban settings than rural settings. Large businesses tend to operate out of cities, which have larger markets and more demand for production and the jobs that come with it.

Stacker compiled a list of the highest-earning cities in California using data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
