Forbes Ranks Most-Expensive ZIP Codes(April 25, 2006) --
The list of the 500 most expensive ZIP codes compiled by Forbes.com is based on the highest median home prices in the country.
The ZIP code 11962 topped the list, as the median price in Sagaponack, N.Y. — located in the Hamptons — reached $2.8 million in 2005.
More than 50 percent of the 500 priciest ZIP codes were in California, and 20 percent were in New York. The remainder were mainly in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Arizona, Maryland, and Florida.
A few of the upscale ZIP codes belong to urban areas; but most are on the coast or in the mountains, with breathtaking views, spacious estates, country clubs, golf courses, and other luxury amenities.

Sorry if I'm a bit defensive, but you missed New Jersey in the list!
Actually NJ is a strong 3rd with 8% of the most expensive ZIP's -- twice as much as either Maryland, Massachusetts or Connecticut.
CA 51%
NY 18%
==> NJ 8% <==
MD 4%
MA 4%
CT 3%
FL 3%
VA 2%
HI 1%
