Methodology: How We Determined The Richest Places In Texas For 2024

Map Of The Richest Places To Live In Texas
The first thing that comes to most people’s minds when they think about determining the richest places is simply identifying personal incomes. After all, rich people have really high salaries.

However, we don’t believe that one statistic wholly encompasses what it means to be one of the “richest places.” So we looked at this set of criteria from the newly released 2018-2022 American Community Survey and applied Saturday Night Science:

  • Median Home Values
  • Median Household Income

Median household income is the most digestible way to understand how rich a place is. And home values are a measure of wealth. The two combine to define a “Rich City.”

After we collected the data for all 479 places with more than 3,000 people in Texas, we ranked each place from 1 to 479 for each of the criteria, with 1 being the richest.

We then averaged all the rankings for a place into a “Rich Score,” with the place having the lowest overall Rich Score, Hunters Creek Village, crowned the “Richest City In Texas For 2024.”

The data has been updated for 2024. This is our tenth time ranking the wealthiest cities in Texas.

You can skip to the end to see the rankings for all 479 places.

Summary: The Wealthiest Places In Texas For 2024

Like we said earlier, when we set out to identify the richest places in Texas, we weren’t sure what we’d encounter, but it ended up being some of the best places to live in Texas.

The richest cities in Texas are Hunters Creek Village, Piney Point Village, Bunker Hill Village, University Park, West University Place, Highland Park, Southlake, West Lake Hills, Spring Valley Village, and Bellaire.

When you look at the data, the cities and places mentioned above meet the criteria for being at the very top of the income ladder for everyone that lives there.
