According to a new list of tony neighborhoods, called the Higley Elite 100, in any case. The ranking is compiled by Stephen R. Higley, a professor of urban geography at the University of Montevallo in Alabama. Higley ranks neighborhoods—rather than ZIP codes or townships—by mean household income and census data based on the Census Bureau’s _American Community Survey 2006-2010_. The top five are: 1\. The Golden Triangle, Greenwich, Conn. $614,242 (mean household income) 2\. Bradley Manor-Longwood, Bethesda, Md. $599,440 3\. Potomac Manors, Potomac, Md. $599,331 4\. Old Cutler-Hammock Oaks Coral Gables, Fla. $596,851 5\. Carderock-The Palisades Potomac, Md. $595,669 For the rest of the list, [click here](http://www.cnbc.com/id/101448625 "undefined"). \[[CNBC](http://www.cnbc.com/id/101448625 "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/10537/richest-neighborhoods-in-america/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/10537/richest-neighborhoods-in-america/"},"headline":"These Are the 10 Richest Neighborhoods in America","datePublished":"2014-02-26T20:29:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T06:30:57.682Z","description":"Posh","url":"https://time.com/10537/richest-neighborhoods-in-america/","keywords":["Wealth"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Matt Vella","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/matt-vella/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/wealth/","name":"Wealth"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/10537/richest-neighborhoods-in-america/","name":"These Are the 10 Richest Neighborhoods in America"}}]}] ```
