Below are ZIP codes in the four-county Southwest Ohio and three-county Northern Kentucky areas that contained the largest numbers of tax returns reporting $100,000 or more in adjusted gross income for Tax Year 2015. The numbers are reported by the IRS and are based on returns filed in 2016, the most recent data available. The ZIP code containing Indian Hill has the highest average adjusted income in the area ($672,963) but ranks 13th for the most returns of $100,000 or more. (Research by Bill Ferguson Jr.)
