Westchester: a small Indian-American community with an outsized wealth footprint

Westchester County has about 21,500 residents of Asian Indian descent, 2.2% of the county [1][3]. The number barely moved from the 2015–2019 survey, up about 3% [1][2].

Yet our database places 555 people in Westchester at $1M+, including 125 at $5M+ and 39 in our $25M+ bands [8]. Compared with the size of the community, that is a heavy wealth footprint.

• 21,544 residents of Asian Indian descent (alone or in combination) in Westchester County, New York, 2020–2024 average [1], or 2.2% of the population [3].
• +2.7% versus the 2015–2019 estimate of 20,987 [1][2] (our calculation).
• 555 people in the HeyAlbert database placed in Westchester County, New York at an estimated $1M+, of whom 125 are in our $5M+ bands [8].

What the HeyAlbert database shows in Westchester County, New York

HeyAlbert builds profiles of Indian-American individuals with an estimated net worth of $1M or more from public records, and every estimate is tied to a cited source. Our database currently places 555 such people in Westchester County, New York [8]. That is a count of people we have found and estimated, not a census of wealthy households: our coverage is partial and uneven.

Estimated net-worth band	People in our database
$1M–5M	430
$5M–15M	86
$25M+ (probable)	<25
$25M+ (likely)	27
Total, $1M+	555

Source: HeyAlbert database [8]. Bands are estimates from public evidence; “likely” and “probable” describe our confidence in the $25M+ tier. Cells under 25 are suppressed.

City	$1M+	of which $5M+	of which $25M+
Scarsdale	154	32	<25
Mamaroneck	74	<25	<25
Rye	68	<25	<25
Harrison	34	<25	<25
Pelham	31	<25	<25
Bedford	31	<25	<25
New Rochelle	25	<25	<25
Pelham Manor	25	<25	<25

Source: HeyAlbert database [8]. Cities with 25+ people at $1M+; cells under 25 shown as <25. The city is where our sources place the person; for some records it is a workplace rather than a home. Cities in our database are matched by name to the Census places and townships in the county; a few that straddle a county line are counted whole, and large cities that extend well beyond the county are left out.

Scarsdale leads our data with 154 people at $1M+, 32 at $5M+ [8]. Mamaroneck (74) and Rye (68) follow, then Harrison (34), Pelham (31) and Bedford (31) [8]. Each of these has fewer than 25 in our $25M+ bands [8].

Why our Westchester County, New York count looks the way it does

Each estimate in our database rests on a primary piece of public evidence. The mix differs from place to place, depending on which records we have been able to process, and it shapes the counts above more than any real difference in wealth does [8].

Primary evidence for the estimate	People	Share
Home value (public assessor or listing records)	421	76%
Other public signals (executive roles, company filings, gifts, pay)	134	24%

Source: HeyAlbert database [8], people at $1M+. Categories under 25 not shown.

Home values support 421 of our 555 estimates, about 76% (our calculation), and other public signals 134 [8]. Most of the wealth we can see here is in high-value homes in a few villages.

What it means if you work with these families

Westchester is a small, settled and wealthy community concentrated in southern Sound Shore and central villages. For advisors and nonprofits, it rewards a targeted approach: a few villages, many established families, and an upper tier that is real but not large.

Methodology

Census figures are American Community Survey 5-year estimates for 2020–2024 and 2015–2019, Table B02018, using “Asian Indian, alone or in any combination” [1][2]. Total population comes from Table B01003 [3]. The Census Bureau changed how it codes detailed race responses in 2020, so part of the change between the two periods may reflect coding rather than migration. All estimates carry margins of error. Shares and growth rates are our calculations.

HeyAlbert counts are aggregates from our database as of October 2026 [8]. They include people we identified as likely of Indian origin with an estimated net worth of $1M or more, based on public records such as property assessments, professional licenses, patents, SEC filings and donor rolls. Coverage is partial and depends on which public records exist and which we have processed. These counts are not population totals. Any cell under 25 is suppressed, and we publish aggregates only, never individual records.
