How we determined the wealthiest neighborhoods in Spokane for 2026
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:
- Highest median household income
Using Saturday Night Science, we researched income data from the Census and BLS for every neighborhood in Spokane.
We ranked every neighborhood in Spokane by median income from highest to lowest. The neighborhood with the highest median income, Five Mileprairie, was named the wealthiest neighborhood in Spokane.
We updated this article for 2026. This is our eleventh time ranking the most affluent neighborhoods to live in Spokane.
