Recently the Census Bureau released their 5 year estimates from the American Community Survey (ACS). Nearly 2 million households were surveyed each year from 2007 through 2011. The ACS is a vital survey that provides statistics for every community in the United States. These statistics are used by journalists, bankers, financial advisers, schools, town and city planners, marketing companies, and many more.
The ACS covers 40 different topics. One of the data fields that was recently updated is the Median Income per Household. Looking through our database, I found that most of the ZIP Codes with the greatest household income came from the East Coast. The ZIP Code that has highest income per household belongs to a city in California.
Here are the top 10 ZIP Codes with the greatest Median Income per Household:
