How We Determined The Wealthiest Neighborhoods In Charlotte 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 Charlotte.

We ranked every neighborhood in Charlotte by median income from highest to lowest. The neighborhood with the highest median income, Eastover, was named the wealthiest neighborhood in Charlotte.

The richest neighborhoods in Charlotte are Eastover, Myers Park, Foxcroft, Mountainbrook, Hembstead, Governor’s Square, Olde Providence South, Colonial Village, Providence Crossing, and Olde Providence North.

The poorest neighborhood? That would be Boulevard Homes.

The poorest neighborhoods in Charlotte are Boulevard Homes, Druid Hills South, Lincoln Heights, West Blvd, and Tryon Hills.

We updated this article for 2024. This is our tenth time ranking the most affluent neighborhoods to live in Charlotte.
