New York State, California and Texas are home to eight of the 10 wealthiest suburbs in America, according to a new ranking drawn from Census data.\u00a0
The nation\u2019s wealthiest suburb is Scarsdale, in New York\u2019s leafy Westchester County, with an average household income of $601,193, according to an analysis<\/a> released July 16 by the personal finance site GOBankingRates. The Westchester suburb of Rye ranks second, with an average household income of $421,259.\u00a0
No two suburbs are alike, but the cities near the top of this ranking share some features in common. Many are on the water, or near it. Several are college towns. Affluent suburbs tend to sit a good distance from the urban center, but close enough for a sane commute.\u00a0
\u201cYou can stay in your bubble, but also get out of your bubble and still get the things you need,\u201d said \u202fRudri Patel<\/a>, a senior financial expert at GOBankingRates.\u202f\u00a0
The ranking is based on average household incomes for suburbs of at least 5,000 households, according to the 2023 American Community Survey<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0
If you don\u2019t see your favorite wealthy suburb on the list, that may be the result of statistical choices that shaped the results.\u00a0This GOBankingRates ranking considers mean household incomes, which can be skewed by the ultra-rich. Other rankings have looked at median incomes, which are often lower.\u00a0\u00a0
By median income, the wealthiest U.S. city is Sammamish, Washington, a Seattle suburb, according to a U.S. News analysis<\/a>. The median household income in Sammamish is $238,750.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
Some wealthy suburbs were too small for the GOBankingRate ranking. The Chicago suburb of Kenilworth<\/a> and the Washington, D.C., suburb of Chevy Chase<\/a>, for example, have fewer than 5,000 households each.\u00a0\u00a0
