A Mercedes-Benz is a special kind of vehicle that is created with only the finest materials, the highest levels of refinement and quality, and the greatest engineering. It takes a special sort of individual to truly appreciate what goes into these cars, and it seems that those people are usually wealthy.

The Wall Street Journal recently covered a survey done by credit reporting group Experian, which figured out what were the most popular cars in the most luxurious zip codes. They extrapolated people’s wealth and purchasing decisions based on location, and the results show that some of the wealthiest of Americans choose Mercedes-Benz for their various automotive needs.

The most prominent area for the Mercedes family to flourish is the ritzy neighborhood of Beverly Hills. Based on car registrations, the top three cars for the zip code of 90210 are all Mercedes-Benz cars from the E-, S-, and C-Class families. With more than 205 registered at the time of this survey, the E-Class handily trumps the three best-selling cars of any other zip code in the study combined.

So, rejoice Mercedes owners, for we are more educated, smarter with our money, and we all love to drive the best.
