Richest Suburbs Revealed Across Multiple US States

A recent analysis using 2023 Census Bureau data highlights Indiana's population growth of 14% since 2000, reaching nearly 7 million residents, and identifies the state's 25 richest cities based on median and mean household income, home values, and property taxes. The Census data's upper limits on income and property values make mean household income a particularly accurate measure for ranking city wealth in Indiana. Separately, nationwide trends show that some of the most expensive areas are not just major cities but also affluent suburbs that combine attractive homes, amenities, good schools, and low crime rates, offering a desirable balance of convenience and privacy. Yahoo Finance, citing Go Banking Rates, identifies the richest suburbs in various states, with North Las Vegas in Nevada, Waxhaw in North Carolina, Short Hills in New Jersey, and Birmingham in Michigan topping their respective lists due to high median home prices and rents. These suburbs exemplify the appeal of living near large cities while enjoying a more peaceful environment, though they come with a high cost of living. The data underscores the continuing allure and expense of suburban living across diverse regions in the U.S.
