What does “middle class” really mean, and is your income worthy of where you live? The answer largely depends on your state.
For a recent study, GOBankingRates used the Pew Research Center’s definition of the middle class: income between two-thirds to twice the state’s median household income. GOBankingRates then added data from the U.S. Census American Community Survey to create a state-by-state breakdown of where the boundaries lie.
The data shows that the income required to be considered middle class varies dramatically across the country – sometimes by thousands of dollars.
