Methodology

Ranked by median household income from the US Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates. Median income is the midpoint — half of households earn more, half earn less.

How to read this ranking

High incomes often track with high housing costs. Compare each city's income against its cost index to gauge real purchasing power.
