How We Determined The Wealthiest Neighborhoods In Milwaukee 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 Milwaukee.
We ranked every neighborhood in Milwaukee by median income from highest to lowest. The neighborhood with the highest median income, Downer Woods, was named the wealthiest neighborhood in Milwaukee.
The richest neighborhoods in Milwaukee are Downer Woods, Historic Third Ward, Park Place, Calumet Farms, College Heights, Mack Acres, Golden Gate, Mount Mary, Golden Valley, and Park Knoll.
The poorest neighborhood? That would be Park View.
The poorest neighborhoods in Milwaukee are Park View, Veterans Affairs, Concordia, Haymarket, and Cold Spring Park.
We updated this article for 2024. This is our tenth time ranking the most affluent neighborhoods to live in Milwaukee.
