How We Determined The Wealthiest Neighborhoods In Oakland 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 Oakland.
We ranked every neighborhood in Oakland by median income from highest to lowest. The neighborhood with the highest median income, Crocker Highland, was named the wealthiest neighborhood in Oakland.
The richest neighborhoods in Oakland are Crocker Highland, Hiller Highlands, Panoramic Hill, Montclair, Piedmont, Montclair Business, Merriwood, Upper Rockridge, Claremont, and Trestle Glen.
The poorest neighborhood? That would be Fruitvale Station.
The poorest neighborhoods in Oakland are Fruitvale Station, Chinatown, Coliseum, North Kennedy Tract, and Saint Elizabeth.
We updated this article for 2024. This is our tenth time ranking the most affluent neighborhoods to live in Oakland.
