With the 2024 presidential and congressional elections coming up really, really soon, we wanted to revisit the study we do every two years: What are the richest congressional districts in the United States? In particular, what are the richest congressional districts in each of the 50 states of the union. Using data from the recently released U.S. Census Bureau’s 2023 American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates, we analyzed all the congressional districts in the U.S. that comprised the 118th Congress — the Congress that began in January 2023 and will run until January 2025, after this November’s elections.
Read on to find out which congressional districts are the wealthiest in each U.S. state in 2024.
The Wealthiest Congressional District in Every State
According to the Census data, there are 70 congressional districts that have median household incomes that are in excess of $100,000. The very top of those 70 districts are scattered mainly between California, New York, and Virginia. In order to compile this list of the richest congressional districts in evert state, we sourced key financial data from the Census Bureau’s 2023 American Community Survey. Wielding these datasets, we put together a four-factor scoring system to help identify the wealthiest cities in Arizona:
- Median household income
- Mean (average) household income
- Median home value
- Median property taxes paid
It’s important to note a few oddities that the Census Bureau does with its data. For a number of factors, the Census figures have upper limits, so there’s no exact value for certain factors. For example, for median household income, the Census Bureau has an upper limit of “$250,000+”. For median home value, the upper limit is “$2,000,000+”. For median property taxes paid, the upper limit is “$10,000+”. For these reasons, the mean household income (which is the same as average household income) dataset is crucial because the Census Bureau has exact figures for it. All four of these metrics were scored, added up, and then ranked by the congressional districts’ combined scores.
You’ll find a table detailing all the congressional districts below:
