Orange County 1990 : SIX-FIGURE HOUSEHOLDS
The six-figure family--households with a minimum income of $100,000--will double by the middle of the 1990s, moving up to 14% from the current estimated 7%. The biggest increase will occur in Villa Park, where an additional 17% of all families will fall into the category by 1994. By that time, astonishingly, about half the city households will be in the six-figure bracket.
