📌 Notes on the Data

• The IRS adjusted gross income (AGI) data reflects overall income reported and tends to highlight areas with high earners even if populations are small.

• The median household income from Census sources shows typical resident earnings and can differ slightly in rankings from AGI.

• Rankings such as “most expensive ZIP codes” (often based on home values) can overlap with wealthy areas but aren’t solely income‑based.
