Highest White (non-Hispanic) household income, US cities · 2020
US cities ranked by the median income of households with a White, non-Hispanic householder (2020 American Community Survey). Places with fewer than 1,000 White non-Hispanic residents are excluded. 6,578 cities qualify in total. Cities with fewer than 5,000 residents are excluded. California carries 9 of the top 25 entries. 14 cities are tied at the $250,000+ ceiling. The median across all 6,578 is $69,058.
The US Census Bureau caps reported median household income at $250,000 for 2020. 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.
