It's not about the absolute wealth of the neighborhood so much as customers per linear foot of fiber (with some scaling for how hard it is to lay that fiber). Apartment buildings with lots of potential customers can end up being much more attractive than mansions with huge yards and one customer in each, even if the mansions' uptake rate is 100% and the apartments' uptake rate is much lower.
