affluent communities

Rich residential areas

Affluent communities are neighborhoods or areas where residents have considerable wealth.

The term appears frequently in discussions of economic inequality, public policy, and real estate: Property values in affluent communities have risen faster than elsewhere.

Schools in affluent communities typically have more resources than those in poorer areas.
