But the lowest income areas area also fairly close in.
610 loop is pretty evenly split between quite wealthy and quite poor, with relatively few middle income neighbourhoods. Between 610 and SHT the low income neighbourhoods probably outnumber the high income ones 3 to 1. The neighbourhoods a bit beyond SHT like around Hwy 6/1960 are pretty even split, and then the outermost ring is mostly upper-middle class.
So although the wealthiest neighbourhoods are in the more close in areas, in terms of the average income of the entirety of each ring, I'd say Houston is
Outer Ring > Core > Inner Ring
Whereas with Toronto, I'd say it's
Core > Outer Ring > Inner Ring
