The ranking of millionaire households in the United States has been released, and Maryland has the highest proportion, and New York ranks in the top three. According to CNBC, the latest survey shows that Maryland is the state with the highest proportion of "million households", with 169,287 households having assets of more than one million US dollars, accounting for 7.7% of the total number of households in the state. This means you are more likely to meet a millionaire in Maryland than in other states. The state with the second highest proportion of "million-dollar households" is New Jersey, with 7.49% of households owning assets worth millions. Connecticut ranks third, with a share of "million households" of 7.32%. The survey report stated that there are approximately 6.1 million households in the United States with assets of at least US$1 million. California, Texas and New York account for 25% of the country's millionaire households. However, due to the large populations of these three states, the millionaire rate is relatively low. The state with the largest increase in millionaire households in 2013 was North Dakota, thanks to the local energy industry. The proportion of millionaire households in the state increased from 4% in 2012 to 4.59% in 2013. Other states with significant increases include Maine, Louisiana and South Dakota. David Thompson, executive manager of Phoenix Global Wealth Monitor, said that the areas where rich people gather are mostly in small areas near political and economic centers, such as near New York or Washington, DC. "Although these towns are small, they are very convenient to the centers of great influence." The state with the fastest decline in millionaire households was Nevada, which lost 1,800 millionaire households from 2012 to 2013; the proportion dropped from 5.13% in 2012 to 4.35% in 2013. Other states with significant declines include Florida, Michigan and Idaho.
