GOBankingRates followed the methodology used for 2024’s list of wealthy suburbs to determine the rankings for 2025. This included analyzing qualifying cities with 5,000 households that are part of a metropolitan statistical area (but not a principal city) and isolating the 50 suburbs with the highest average household income. Though it did not determine rankings, the average home value was sourced from the Zillow Home Value Index for May 2025 for added context.
For the suburbs not listed on the Zillow Home Value Index, the ZIP codes making up the suburb were used. The 2022 mean household income was used with the BLS CPI Inflation calculator to find the 2023 value and the one-year change in dollar and percentages was calculated for the home value and inflation-adjusted household mean income.

For the second year in a row, Scarsdale is America’s wealthiest suburb. The suburb’s household mean income for 2022 was $588,014 (adjusted for 2023 inflation) and $601,193 for 2023, increasing by 2.2% over one-year.
This year’s 10 wealthiest suburbs featured two surprising newcomers: Alamo, California, and Southlake, Texas, ranked fifth and seventh. In 2024, Southlake ranked 13th, but Alamo didn’t rank in the top 50 at all.
The top 50 includes six new wealthy suburbs: Alamo, California (#5); Coto de Caza, California (#22); Lake Butler, Florida (#40); Colleyville, Texas (#47); Newton, Massachusetts (#49); and Brentwood, Tennessee (#50).
For the second year running, California has the most wealthy suburbs in the top 50. The total for 2025 is 17, up from 16 in 2024. The five most expensive California suburbs are Los Altos ($403,512), Alamo ($403,334), Orinda ($369,073), Palos Verdes Estates ($367,178) and Saratoga ($344,319).
Five Texas suburbs ranked in the top 50 — three in the top 10: West University Place (#3), University Park (#6), Southlake (#7), Bellaire (#23) and Colleyville (#47).
Palm Beach (#13), Pinecrest (#21) and Lake Butler (#40) ranked as Florida’s three wealthiest suburbs.

Methodology: For this study, GOBankingRates analyzed cities with at least 5,000 households, as sourced from the U.S. Census 2023 American Community Survey. The 50 suburbs with the highest average household income were isolated. Several factors were found for each city including total population, population ages 65 and over, total households, household median income and household mean income all sourced from the US Census 2023 American Community Survey. The average single-family home value was sourced from Zillow Home Value Index for May 2025. If the suburb was not listed on Zillow Home Value Index, the ZIP codes that make up the suburb were used. To qualify for this study, the city had to have at least 5,000 households and be a part of a metropolitan statistical area but not be a principal city, a city named in the MSA’s title. The 2022 mean household income was used with the BLS CPI Inflation calculator to find the 2023 value. The one-year change in dollar and percentages was calculated for the home value and inflation-adjusted household mean income. The suburbs were sorted to show the highest average household income first, representing the wealthiest suburbs in America. All data was collected on and is up to date as of July 1, 2025.
