Showing 58 cities in Massachusetts meeting the ACS income display filter. MOE is the ACS 90% margin of error. $250,001 is the ACS top-coded value, not an exact median.

Methodology · Massachusetts ACS B19013

Massachusetts median household income estimates, with MOE shown.

The ranking value is ACS table B19013 line 001 estimate, Median household income in the past 12 months, from the 2020-2024 5-Year ACS release. The MOE column is the published ACS 90% margin of error for that estimate.

ACS median household income can be top-coded at $250,001. A displayed value of $250,001 should be read as the Census-published top-coded value, not an exact household income; where Census does not publish a usable MOE for that top-coded median, the MOE cell is blank and the precision column says Top-coded.

Rows are limited to Massachusetts cities with 2024 Census PEP population of at least 5,000 and a non-null ACS median household income estimate. Ranks use standard competition ranking, so exact ties share the same rank.

Do not read this page as a list of wealthiest places. The data reports median household income only; it does not measure assets, net worth, purchasing power, taxes, household size, or local prices.
