How We Determined The Wealthiest Neighborhoods In New York For 2024

Every city has its best neighborhoods — where everyone wants to live — and the worst neighborhoods — where no one wants to live. And then you have the wealthiest neighborhoods, where no one can afford to live.

And by no one, we mean you because there’s always someone richer than you.

How do you quantify richer than you? We looked at one simple criterion:

Which neighborhoods have the highest median income?

Using Saturday Night Science, we researched income data from the Census and BLS for every neighborhood in New York.

We ranked every neighborhood in New York by median income from highest to lowest. The neighborhood with the highest median income, Battery Park, was named the wealthiest neighborhood in New York.

The richest neighborhoods in New York are Battery Park, Tribeca, Carnegie Hill, Financial District, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Greenwich Village, Park Slope, Upper East Side, and Murray Hill.

The poorest neighborhood? That would be Mott Haven.

The poorest neighborhoods in New York are Mott Haven, High Bridge, South Bronx, Hunts Point, and Brownsville.

We updated this article for 2024. This is our tenth time ranking the most affluent neighborhoods to live in New York.
