Florida's Wealth Map: Where the Money Actually Clusters

Guess what? Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach area is absolutely dominating Florida’s wealth game—12 out of 24 richest suburbs are packed into this region. That’s literally 50% of the state’s ultra-wealthy neighborhoods.

Here’s the breakdown from GOBankingRates’ 2025 research:

Top tier (avg income $200K+):

• Palm Beach leads by a mile: $356.5K average household income, homes averaging $10.2M
• Pinecrest follows: $312.6K income, $2.4M typical homes
• Lake Butler (Orlando area): $289.6K, $748.7K homes
• Parkland, Coral Gables, Palmetto Bay all in the $200K+ range

Interesting pattern: The Miami metro area has the flashiest numbers but weirdly, home values don’t always match income. Coral Gables ($209.7K income) has $1.98M homes, while Pinecrest ($312.6K income) sits at $2.4M. That’s the premium for location.

Other metros getting play: Orlando (Lake Butler, Winter Park, Dr. Phillips), Jacksonville (Beach, Atlantic Beach, Fleming Island), and Tampa/Sarasota suburbs are catching up, but they’re still in the $140-180K income range.

Bottom line? If you’re hunting Florida’s richest zip codes, start in South Florida. The wealth concentration there is basically unmatched.
