According to a new report, the two wealthiest suburbs in the USA are in Westchester

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — California suburbs dominated the list of “America’s richest suburbs,” but the top two spots were taken right here in Westchester County, a new report shows.

Financial site GOBankingRates wanted to find out which suburbs some of the wealthiest Americans live in. The study’s authors surveyed all cities with 5,000 or more households and identified the 50 cities with the highest median household income using data from the American Community Survey. They then calculated the typical home value in 2024 and location in the metro area using data from Zillow to determine the wealthiest suburbs.

Their research led to some surprising and not so surprising conclusions.

Although New York’s suburbs have replaced California as the first and second wealthiest suburbs in America, California’s suburbs are much more strongly represented in the top 50.

Scarsdale, with a median income of $569,000, and Rye, with a median income of $405,000, led the pack. Harrison, with a median income of $257,000, was the only other nearby suburb to make the top 50.

Outside of the New York City metropolitan area, only one northeastern suburb made the top ten. Wellesley, MA, ranked 10th with a median household income of $368,000.
