KW is not "first ring" but it was fully developed by 1925. Ask someone from Round Lake Beach where Kenilworth is and, if he's heard of it, he'll say "in the city."
Only someone born at the turn of the last century wouldn't consider most of Cook County at this point inner suburbs.

I suppose the answer to your question is Kenilworth IL. In Charles Murray's Coming Apart book, Kenilworth's zip code is ranked #1 in the nation. Source: 'The New American Divide', by Charles Murray, The Wall Street Journal, January 21, 2012.

Found a couple articles in the Chicago Tribune archives.

June 05, 1989

Quote:
Kenilworth has the wealthiest and best-educated population of any suburb in America, according to a new study that ranks the nation`s richest and poorest suburbs.
September 25, 1992

Quote:
Exclusive Kenilworth is still the richest suburb in the Chicago area, and the sixth richest in the United States, with the highest overall combination of income and education in the country.

Oops! 1992 was 20 years ago. 1989 was even earlier. As a whole Chicagoland has 41%*of the millionaires in Illinois.

Oak Park has its own share of millionaires today, too.

Yeah Oak Park has its fair share of wealth but Kenilworth is on a whole different level.

Oak Park... Go there or thru at least 4-5 times a month..
Kenilworth - 0.

Oak Park to me is full of working professionals like an attorney.
Somene who makes darn good money.

Kenilworth is full of Major Executives of large Corporations or the head of an large firm... Someone who makes an insane amount of money.
