How We Determined The Wealthiest Neighborhoods In Richmond 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 Richmond.
We ranked every neighborhood in Richmond by median income from highest to lowest. The neighborhood with the highest median income, Windsor Farms, was named the wealthiest neighborhood in Richmond.
The richest neighborhoods in Richmond are Windsor Farms, Wilton, Country Club Of Virginia, University Of Richmond, Stonewall Court, Three Chopt, Colonial Place, Forest Hill, Monument Avenue Park, and Willow Lawn.
The poorest neighborhood? That would be Vcu.
The poorest neighborhoods in Richmond are Vcu, Gilpin, Fairfield, Creighton, and Mosby.
We updated this article for 2024. This is our tenth time ranking the most affluent neighborhoods to live in Richmond.
