New York Has Many Of The Wealthiest Hometowns In America

For the third year in a row, a local community has completely crushed the national competition to claim the number one spot for household income.

Scarsdale topped the list again in 2026, with an average household income of $612,591. Home values in the village are now averaging over $1.6 million, up nearly 10% from last year. That's a three-peat at number one, and it doesn't look like anyone is catching them anytime soon.

Rye, also in Westchester County, came in at number three with an average household income of $428,806 and average home values topping $2.3 million.

Garden City on Long Island cracked the top 50 as a brand new entry this year, landing at number 31 with an average household income of $306,541. Dix Hills, also on Long Island, came in at number 45 with an average household income of $278,135.

How The Study Was Done

MoneyLion analyzed cities with at least 5,000 households using U.S. Census data and Zillow home values from April 2026.

To qualify, a community had to be part of a metro area but not one of its principal cities, so New York City itself didn't count, only the suburbs surrounding it.

In total, four New York communities made the final list of 50. California dominated with 16 suburbs on the list, while Texas placed five, including three in the top 10.
