Austin Business Journal writes, "Austin is one of the highest ranked cities when it comes to wealth accumulation, according to several reports.
In this year’s Wealth Edition, we’re taking a closer look at wealth patterns in Central Texas. That includes ABJ’s exclusive list of the region’s wealthiest ZIP codes — a ranking that takes income, home values, education levels and more into account. The list can be found below.
Tracking where the rich live can be difficult — especially when it comes to nailing down the number of billionaires hidden in the lush hills of Central Texas.
Austin can claim at least 11 players on Forbes’ latest list of billionaires. Of course, a person’s true wealth is difficult to nail down in the public realm, so it’s widely believed that there are more billionaires around here.
One thing is pretty certain: The three richest people in the area are Elon Musk, Michael Dell and Robert Smith of Vista Equity Partners.
Until now, only one ZIP on the east side, the one closest to downtown, has made the top 10 of this annual list. This year, three ZIPs east of I-35 made the cut. Austin ranked No. 10 among U.S. cities when it comes to wealth, according to Henley & Partners, an Austin-based consultancy. Its list is largely compiled by the number of millionaires and billionaires counted in major metros.
