Two Maryland suburbs are among the wealthiest communities in America, according to a new ranking comparing high-income suburbs today with those from 10 years ago.
The personal finance website GOBankingRates ranked the 50 wealthiest U.S. suburbs by average household income, comparing the latest figures with those from a decade earlier. To qualify, communities had to have at least 5,000 households, be part of a metropolitan statistical area, and not be a principal city in that metro area, according to GOBankingRates.
Potomac in Montgomery County ranked No. 22 on the 2026 list, falling from No. 11 in 2016. The suburb had an average 2024 household income of $321,477 and an average home value of $1,355,600 as of January 2026, according to the analysis.
Bethesda, also in Montgomery County, ranked No. 39 on the 2026 list, falling from No. 25 a decade ago. The suburb had an average 2024 household income of $295,886 and an average home value of $1,272,977.
