University Park made a new list ranking the wealthiest suburbs in the U.S. by MoneyLion.
The study analyzed cities with at least 5,000 households, as sourced from the U.S. Census 2024 American Community Survey, to isolate the 50 suburbs with the highest average household income. To be included in the study, the city had to have at least 5,000 households and be a part of a metropolitan statistical area, but not a principal city.
University Park was one of five Texas cities to make the MoneyLion ranking. It came in sixth overall and second in Texas, after the West University Place in the Houston area.
Here’s their ranking of the top 10 wealthiest suburbs:
- Scarsdale, New York with an average household income in 2024 of $612,591
- West University Place, Texas, with an average household income in 2024 of $439,594
