Forbes top zip codes

These offers do not represent all available deposit, investment, loan or credit products. For those interested in American economics and evaluating the haves and the have-nots, GOBankingRates conducted a study to determine the five richest ZIP codes in every state.

And while many affluent areas you might expect pepper the overall list — two Manhattan ZIP codes make the top five in New York, and the richest ZIP code in California can unsurprisingly be found in the San Francisco Bay Area — other more unexpected outliers, like lightly populated pockets of Maryland, North Dakota and Wyoming also make appearances in their respective top five lists. Some of these ZIP codes can be found in urban cities, some can be found in suburban sprawl.

Some are big and some are small. Some are coastal and some are Middle America, home to tech execs and white-collar professionals, each defining success on their terms.

Some are clustered together, while others are islands unto themselves, gated or secluded communities you may not have known existed — or even literal islands in some cases. In short? You can find wealth all over the country, possibly even right next door. Are You Surprised?
