"Amongst the largest metros, San Francisco metro has the highest share of million dollar homes in the country at 58%. And not surprisingly, the other two Bay Area metros rank #2 (San Jose) and #3 (Oakland). Within the city of San Francisco itself, more than 63% of homes are valued above the $1 million mark," according to a post by Raplh McLaughlin.

McLaughlin, writing for Trulia, explains the methodology of the study and provides some narrative to back up what the eyes can behold in the infographic found below.
