This town appears to be the richest and most utopian in the Earth Kingdom. In ATLA, almost every single town we went to in the EK had some sort of major crisis happening at the time that the Gaang had to fix. Gaoling had no known crisis; most of it's citizens seemed helpful and friendly. Because of it's location in the southern Earth Kingdom, this town stayed safe and detached from the War.

The town's architecture and residents appear quite aristocratic and wealthy, and I'm not just referring to the Beifongs. You can tell by the tone and feel of the region that's so. I also think this town is one of the largest, ranking behind only Ba Sing Se and Omashu.
