Burlingame-Hillsborough Neighborhoods Mapped by Wealth

A new website shows the median income of neighborhoods in Burlingame and Hillsborough.

San Mateo County ranks third of all California counties in median household income, and Burlingame-Hillsborough plays an interesting part in that.

Rich Blocks, Poor Blocks, a website that compiles American Community Survey data, has broken down every city in America by neighborhood and listed them all by average household income, and the results are quite interesting.

The site separates Burlingame and Hillsborough into six sections — the six census tracts that divide the cities.
