Note: The Department of Revenue provided millionaire counts in 2013 and 2017 for only 54 of the 67 counties since it does not release data for counties that have 10 or fewer million-dollar earners in any given year. Counties excluded from this list for that reason are Cameron, Clarion, Clinton, Forest, Fulton, Huntingdon, Juniata, Mifflin, Montour, Perry, Pike, Potter and Sullivan.
For the purposes of this list, the reference to million-dollar earners reflects only those who had incomes of $1 million or more in the given years, not including assets.
