How We Determined The Wealthiest Neighborhoods In Albuquerque For 2024
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:
Which neighborhoods have the highest median income?
Using Saturday Night Science, we researched income data from the Census and BLS for every neighborhood in Albuquerque.
We ranked every neighborhood in Albuquerque by median income from highest to lowest. The neighborhood with the highest median income, Vista Del Mundo, was named the wealthiest neighborhood in Albuquerque.
The richest neighborhoods in Albuquerque are Vista Del Mundo, Antelope Run, Paloma Del Sol, Peppertree-Royal Oak, North Domingo Baca, Estates At Tanoan, N Albuquerque Acres, Tanoan East, Volcano Cliffs, and Heritage East.
The poorest neighborhood? That would be Greater Gardner.
The poorest neighborhoods in Albuquerque are Greater Gardner, Los Jardines, Trumbull Village, Sycamore, and Montgomery Heights.
We updated this article for 2024. This is our tenth time ranking the most affluent neighborhoods to live in Albuquerque.
