The financial services site GoBankingRates recently compiled the 100 cities with the highest mean household income and a minimum of 7,500 households, according to the Census Bureau’s 2022 American Community Survey. Then, analysts combined each city’s 2019 and 2022 mean household income and a three-year percent change in mean household income into a score. The percentage of the population with a household income greater than $200,000 for each 2019 and 2022, and a three-year percent change for those households, was also factored in.
These are the 25 cities where “the rich are getting richer,” according to the analysis:
1. Los Altos, Calif.
2. Wellesley, Mass.
3. McLean, Va.
4. Los Gatos, Calif.
5. Southlake, Texas
