Highest White (non-Hispanic) household income, US cities
US cities ranked by the median income of households with a White, non-Hispanic householder (2024 American Community Survey). Places with fewer than 1,000 White non-Hispanic residents are excluded. 6,587 cities qualify in total. Cities with fewer than 5,000 residents are excluded. California carries 12 of the top 25 entries. 50 cities are tied at the $250,000+ ceiling. The median across all 6,587 is $85,185. Biggest climber in the top 100 since 2020: Corte Madera, CA, up 133 places to #94.
The US Census Bureau caps reported median household income at $250,000 for 2024. Places shown as “$250,000+” exceed that ceiling by an amount the Census does not publish, so their exact values (and the order among them) cannot be distinguished.
