Tribeca, a trendy neighborhood in downtown Manhattan, is home to New York City's richest zip code , where the average income of residents is $879,000, Bloomberg reported.

It's the fifth-richest zip code in the US, according to Bloomberg's ranking.

Tribeca is " the epitome of downtown cool ," as StreetEasy put it. The neighborhood, which borders the Hudson River to the west and the Financial District to the south, is a celebrity hotspot that's been home to stars including Taylor Swift , Jennifer Lawrence, and Steven Spielberg.
