Bay Area counties boast some of the highest concentrations of high-income taxpayers nationwide, according to a recent analysis of IRS data. Marin and Santa Clara counties secured the top two positions, with over 25% of their taxpayers reporting incomes exceeding $200,000 for the 2023 tax year.
San Mateo and San Francisco counties also ranked within the top 10. This data, derived from actual tax returns, offers a precise measure of income by county. The analysis indicates that income from sources other than traditional wages, such as capital gains and dividends, plays a substantial role in the financial profiles of these high earners.
