The old adage about real estate is that the three most important things are location, location, location. And, according to a study from GOBankingRates, there might be more truth to that saying for America than ever before.

To find the richest and poorest ZIP codes in America, GOBankingRates analyzed the ZIP codes across the United States using mean income, median income, total household population and various household populations by income levels — all sourced from the U.S. Census American Consumer Survey.

The ZIP codes could be analyzed to show the places where the household income brackets are the poorest and where the household incomes are the highest. The ZIP codes then were entered into a search from the United States Postal Service ZIP Code Finder in order to locate the city associated with the ZIP code.

Each ZIP code’s score is weighed in each category, resulting in a comprehensive list of which neighborhoods across the country are home to the nation’s richest and poorest residents. The results demonstrate a considerable regional divide. Here are the richest and poorest ZIP codes in America right now.
