How we ranked them

Ranked by median household income (ACS 5-year estimates, 2020–2024). The Census Bureau caps published medians at $250,000; ZIP codes at the cap are shown as $250,000+ and ordered by population. ZIP codes need at least 1,000 residents to be ranked; 35 of 48 qualify.

Which of these to mail, and why

Higher-income ZIP codes suit offers with a bigger ticket: remodeling, pools, roofing, financial planning, private schools, premium dining. A median describes the middle household, not every door, so the routes inside each ZIP still vary.
