How We Determined The Wealthiest Neighborhoods In Wichita 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 Wichita.
We ranked every neighborhood in Wichita by median income from highest to lowest. The neighborhood with the highest median income, Courtland, was named the wealthiest neighborhood in Wichita.
The richest neighborhoods in Wichita are Courtland, Rockhurst, College Hill, Park Meadows, Sherwood Glen, Pleasant Valley, Crown Heights South, Delano Township, Lambsdale, and Macdonald.
The poorest neighborhood? That would be Oakview.
The poorest neighborhoods in Wichita are Oakview, McAdams, Central 2000, Hilltop, and The Elm.
We updated this article for 2024. This is our tenth time ranking the most affluent neighborhoods to live in Wichita.
