Chino Hills, a wealthy Los Angeles suburb, has a median household income of $100,099, estimates the U.S. Census Bureau. According to the city's 2010 annual report, housing growth will slow, but "demand for residential construction will continue due to good schools, low crime, and the city's strong, positive reputation." The city unemployment rate increased to 6.9 percent in August, from 5.9 percent in February 2009, according to BLS data. In August, the median home value in the city was $425,200, according to the Zillow Home Value Index, and the median sale price was $411,500 as of Aug. 31.
