ZipCrawl

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Household median incomes in the Boston metro area exhibit a clear core-periphery pattern, with the lowest incomes concentrated in central Boston zip codes—particularly in areas south of downtown where values dip below $30,000—while affluent suburban rings to the west and northwest consistently exceed $125,000. The western suburbs stretching from Newton through Waltham and beyond display uniformly high incomes, contrasting sharply with more modest earnings in dense urban cores like Somerville, Lynn, and parts of Medford. A notable income gradient radiates outward from central Boston, though southern suburbs like Quincy and Weymouth Town show relatively strong median incomes in the $80,000–$100,000+ range, breaking the pattern of lower-income areas immediately surrounding the urban core.
