Here’s a recent ranking of the top 10 wealthiest ZIP codes in Massachusetts based on a wealth index that combines income, home values, population density, and other socio-economic factors (not just income alone). All of these are within about 10 miles of Boston — showing how concentrated high wealth is in Greater Boston.
02116 – Back Bay (Boston)
-
02118 – South End (Boston)
-
02446 – Brookline
-
02144 – Somerville
-
02129 – Charlestown (Boston)
-
02140 – Cambridge
-
02127 – South Boston
-
02476 – Arlington
-
02139 – Cambridge
-
02141 – Cambridge
Notes:
-
Back Bay’s 02116 ranked #1 with a median home value of about $1.3 M.
-
Some high-income suburbs (e.g., Dover, Weston) didn’t make this particular Top-10 wealth index because the ranking also weighs factors like home values, poverty rates, and population density — not just income alone.
-
Other analyses focusing strictly on average adjusted gross income (AGI) list ZIP codes like 02110 (Boston waterfront), 02108 (Beacon Hill), 02493 (Weston), and 02481 (Wellesley Hills) with very high incomes — but those aren’t reflected in this wealth index ranking.
