Southlake holds top spot in North Texas wealth ranking, but Arlington ZIP code surges 

ARLINGTON (Dallas Business Journal) – According to a recent Dallas Business Journal study of top-earning ZIP codes in the Metroplex, Southlake was the region’s wealthiest neighborhood for the sixth consecutive year, while Colleyville ranked second.

However, an Arlington ZIP code has surpassed prestigious neighborhoods like Highland Park and University Park to claim the third spot. This marks the first time Arlington has achieved such recognition.

Arlington’s 76005 ZIP code is experiencing rapid development, primarily due to the establishment of Viridian, a 2,000-acre master-planned community that is driving much of the wealth in the area.

The median income required to live comfortably in that area is reported to be $191,250 or higher, based on the latest U.S. Census Bureau data.
