These 2 FL Suburbs Are Among The Wealthiest In America: Ranking

FLORIDA — Two Florida communities were included in a recent ranking of America’s wealthiest suburbs, according to the new report.

The finance website GOBankingRates set out to find which suburbs are home to some of the wealthiest Americans. The study's authors surveyed all municipalities with 5,000 or more households and isolated the 50 with the highest average household income using data from the American Community Survey. The 2024 typical home value and metro area location, with data from Zillow, were then sourced to determine the wealthiest suburbs.

Florida communities that made the cut included Palm Beach, ranked 11th with an average household income of $365,991 and a typical home value of about $11.57 million, and Pinecrest, ranked at 20th with an income of $304,416 and home value of $2.24 million.

Nationally, New York suburbs beat out California for the No. 1 and No. 2 wealthiest, but California communities were much more represented on the list as a whole.

The top three nationwide were the New York suburbs of Scarsdale and Rye, with respective incomes of $568,942 and $405,074 and home values of roughly $1.41 million and $2.12 million, followed by the Houston area suburb of West University Place, which had an average income of $403,845 and a typical home value of about $1.6 million.
