How We Determined The Wealthiest Neighborhoods In New York For 2023

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 poorest neighborhood? That would be Mott Haven.

We updated this article for 2023. This is our tenth time ranking the most affluent neighborhoods to live in New York.
