Possibly, but that's why household income numbers aren't super valuable at determining relative wealth and desirability. Westchester is generally much more expensive and prestigious than these counties.
Westchester is also nearly 40% multifamily housing, and has significant low-income housing. Putnam and Hunterdon are basically SFH in the woods. But if you compare what $1 million buys in say, Westchester, vs. Hunterdon, it'll be a silly comparison. You're comparing a dumpy bungalow to a big McMansion.
