For this study, GOBankingRates used the U.S. Census 2023 American Community Survey to find the 50 largest metropolitan areas by population and identify the cities with the highest average household incomes within each Metropolitan Statistical Area (as defined by the Census).

Qualifying suburbs must have a minimum of 5,000 households and not be principal cities. Each suburb’s 2022 and 2023 household mean incomes were sourced and the CPI inflation calculator was used to find the 2022 household mean income’s value in 2023. The Zillow Home Value Index was referenced to source each suburb’s average single-family home value in 2025. The one-year change in dollar amount and percent was calculated for the inflation-adjusted household mean income and the single-family home value. The rankings for each suburb are based on population, with the most populated MSA first.

Editor’s note: Photos are for illustrative purposes only. In many cases, the closest major city outside of the city mentioned in the article was used.

Methodology: For this study, GOBankingRates found the 50 largest metropolitan areas by population as sourced from the U.S. Census 2023 American Community Survey. Using the American Community Survey, the cities with the highest average household income within each MSA were identified. To qualify for this study, the suburb has to have at least 5,000 households and not be a principal city, a city named in the title of the MSA. For each suburb, GOBankingRates identified total population, total households, population ages 65 and over, 2023 household median income, 2023 household mean income and 2022 household mean income — all sourced from the American Community Survey. Using the CPI inflation calculator from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the 2022 household mean income was used to find the value in 2023. The average single-family home value was sourced from Zillow Home Value Index for each suburb for June 2025 and June 2024. The one-year change in dollar amount and percent was calculated for the inflation-adjusted household mean income and the single-family home value. The suburbs were sorted to show the most population MSA first. All data was collected on and is up to date as of Aug. 1, 2025.
