Highest Median Income Cities in Texas?
Texas is home to some of the wealthiest enclaves in the country, with many of the top-ranking cities essentially functioning as exclusive residential suburbs of major metros like Dallas, Houston, and Austin.
These cities represent the absolute ceiling of the data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau as of early 2026.
| Rank | City | Metro Area | Est. Avg. Household Income |
| 1 | Westlake | Dallas-Fort Worth | $574,670 |
| 2 | Hunters Creek Village | Houston | $521,133 |
| 3 | Highland Park | Dallas | $519,460 |
| 4 | Hill Country Village | San Antonio | $519,377 |
| 5 | Piney Point Village | Houston | $519,284 |
| 6 | Bunker Hill Village | Houston | $472,573 |
| 7 | Westover Hills | Fort Worth | $450,011 |
| 8 | West University Place | Houston | $439,594 |
| 9 | University Park | Dallas | $407,253 |
| 10 | Southlake | Dallas-Fort Worth | $384,530 |
Highest Income Cities (Population 50,000+)
If you are looking for larger, more established cities rather than small residential villages, the rankings shift toward the “professional hubs” in North Texas and the Houston area.
- Flower Mound: ~$147,490
- Frisco: ~$141,129
- The Woodlands: ~$140,794
- Leander: ~$138,938
- Sugar Land: ~$133,144
- Allen: ~$126,549
- Cedar Park: ~$119,943
- League City: ~$118,475
- McKinney: ~$116,654
- Plano: ~$108,594
Regional Wealth Distribution
- Dallas-Fort Worth: Dominates the list for both high-density professional wealth (Frisco/Plano) and extreme “old money” enclaves (Highland Park/University Park).
- Houston: Features a high concentration of “Memorial Villages” (Hunters Creek, Piney Point) and executive suburbs like Bellaire and Sugar Land.
- Austin: While Austin itself has a median income around $91,500, its wealthy suburbs like West Lake Hills and Rollingwood consistently see median incomes near or above the $200,000 mark.
