Household Median Income by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — New York Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Median household incomes across the New York metro area exhibit a stark core-periphery pattern, with the lowest incomes—below $40,000—concentrated in parts of the South Bronx, Upper Manhattan (particularly Harlem and Washington Heights), and pockets of Newark and Paterson, while outer suburban zip codes in northern New Jersey, Westchester, and western Long Island consistently exceed $125,000. Staten Island and much of Queens display solidly middle-to-upper-middle income levels in the $75,000–$125,000 range, contrasting sharply with adjacent Brooklyn neighborhoods that swing from affluent areas near Park Slope to lower-income eastern sections. The wealthy suburban corridor stretching north from the city through lower Westchester into the Stamford area stands out as one of the highest-income clusters in the metro, rivaled only by select zip codes in Manhattan's Upper East Side and parts of Bergen County, New Jersey.
