The Washington Post has a fascinating visualization of inequality in America.
Their map uses U.S. Census data to rank different Zip codes based on
how elite their populations are. Percentile rankings for both income and
educational attainment were calculated and averaged together, giving a
score between 0 and 99. Zip codes with scores of 95 or higher were
designated "Super Zips," the homes of the most affluent and elite
Americans.
We decided to break out the 20 most elite of the Super Zips. The map
below shows Super Zips in yellow, with the top 20 most elite Zip codes
in red:
