Analyzing Finance with Nick

What parts of town do Old Money & New Money Live? In "The Geography of Wealth," we explore how old money and new money shape the landscape of metropolitan areas. By analyzing where these different groups tend to live, we uncover key patterns in urban geography and social dynamics. Old money often resides in historic, prestigious neighborhoods—marked by long-established mansions, cultural institutions, and understated wealth.
