Most people will tell you that one of their goals in life is to be wealthy and own a nice (and maybe even large) home for their family to enjoy. Personally, I think there is nothing wrong with this mindset, but it is not one that I share. I am okay with owning a nice home in a moderate neighborhood so my family can enjoy experiences instead.

So many people automatically turn to Florida, New York, California, Massachusetts, and New Jersey when thinking about the wealthiest places in the country. They aren't wrong to think this way as these states rank far above the rest when it comes to wealth, but that doesn't mean that there isn't any wealth in other states.

There is plenty of wealth making its way through the state of Michigan and it isn't all in the Southeast region like some people think. Below is a list of the 25 wealthiest zip codes in Michigan in order form 1-25:

  • 49503 Grand Rapids
  • 49007 Kalamazoo
  • 48226 Detroit
  • 48502 Flint
  • 49455 Shelby
  • 48304 Bloomfield Hills

The data for this list was gathered by ZipDataMaps and used metrics of Adjusted Gross Income and Median Household Income to determine the wealth level of each zip code. This may skew the results to favor certain areas more than others, but the list is fairly stretched out around the state.
