Two Cook County Zip Codes Among 20 Richest In Country: Bloomberg

Chicago and its suburbs also dominate the wealthiest Midwest zip codes

Two Cook County zip codes are among the top 20 richest in the country, according to a new report. 

Data from the Internal Revenue Service analyzed by Bloomberg showed Kenilworth is home to the eighth-richest zip code in the country and Glencoe holds the 19th-richest.

The ranking, released Tuesday, was put together by looking at IRS data for zip codes with more than 200 filed tax returns in 2015 and more than 500 residential households according to the latest Census data, Bloomberg said.

Kenilworth’s zip code, 60043, had an average adjusted gross income of $861,000 per year, up 71.6 percent over a 5-year period. The average home value is $1.32 million, and average individual salary is $435,900.

Glencoe’s zip code 60022 had an average AGI of $633,700, average home value of $950,000 and average individual salary of $290,800.

But both pale in comparison to the wealthiest zip code in the nation: 33109, Fisher Island, Florida, a private island off the coast of Miami. The average AGI on Fisher Island is $2.54 million.

Fisher Island is only accessible by ferry or water taxi and is home to everyone from lawyers to athletes and supermodels, according to Bloomberg.

These are the top 10 richest zip codes in the nation and their average AGI:

  1. Fisher Island, 33109: $2.54 million
  2. Atherton, California, 94027: $1.5 million
