Nine Delaware County ZIP Codes are among the 50 wealthiest in Greater Philadelphia, with Villanova checking in at No. 3, writes Alison Burdo for the Philadelphia Business Journal.

American City Business Journals analyzed data from the U.S. Census Bureau to determine which ZIP Codes in the region are the wealthiest based on more than a half-dozen factors. These include per capita income, median value of owner-occupied homes, and the number of adults with a bachelor’s degree.

The evaluation only took into account areas with a minimum of 2,000 residents and a complete 2016 American Community Survey.

Villanova’s median household income of $191,339 placed it third in the region. Thornton ranked sixth with $152,361.

Garnet Valley was 12th with $128,918, followed by Wayne at No. 19 with $122,266 and Chadds Ford at No. 24 with $116,389.

Haverford placed 34th with $109,205 and Nether Providence placed 40th with $100,660.

Glen Mills and Newtown Square round out Delco’s entries on the list at Nos. 44 and 45, respectively.

The wealthiest ZIP Code in Greater Philadelphia is Gladwyne with a median household income of $193,152.
