๐ Notes on Wealth Metrics
-
Per-capita income lists (e.g., 19710, 19807) measure individual earnings and are useful for identifying high-wealth communities.
-
Median household income (e.g., 19732, 19707) reflects how typical households fare, which is often a better measure of local affluence.
-
Beachfront or resort ZIP codes (like 19944, 19930, 19971) often rank high due to a mix of vacation/second homes and local wealth.
