Although many of its residents are quite wealthy and it is home to many extremely affluent suburbs of New York City, Westchester has a more diverse population, both demographically and economically, than its stereotypical image suggests. Given this stereotype, some may find it ironic that Westchester County actually borders the Bronx; however, this is not so strange considering the Bronx's rather notorious reputation is not entirely accurate either.
