Nah, between Ipswich, Topsfield, Middleton, Newburyport and Amersbury, ect. I'm not surprised at all. Plus gentrification has been coming strong for the North shore.

Yeah the whole coast from Beverly up to NH is $5-$45 million dollar houses, this isn't surprising at all.

If you look at the Globe map (paywall), it goes by town. The coastal North Shore was pretty behind it, Rowley, Newbury (not Newburyport), Salisbury, and Marblehead being exceptions. Seems the interior suburbs, like Danvers, Peabody, and Saugus, are where the real millionaires live.

Saugus is a red town for some unknown reason. It’s mainly working class people.

Saugus was a sundown town and a lot of that legacy still lives on. People there collectively flipped their shit at the idea of changing their racist mascot because "heritage" even though nobody in town has ever even met a Native person.

Fair enough, I thought the Merrimac valley would even it out. I hate how much this area is changing but it’s the same across the state

Andover, N. Andover and West Boxford are some of the wealthiest parts of the state.

There are probably 7-10 towns in Essex county wealthier than the towns you listed.
