How did GoBankingRates come up with rankings?

GoBankingRates analyzed cities with populations between 25,000 and 100,000 people, focusing on metropolitan areas with populations of 1 million or more.

“Only places with a median household income of $150,000 or more were kept for this study,” the site said.

GoBankingRates then looked at population changes for each city from 2018 to 2023.

The site sourced data from the U.S. Census American Community Survey, Sperling’s BestPlaces, AreaVibes, Zillow Home Value Index, Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey and Federal Reserve Economic Data. All data was current as of Jan. 6.
