Four Profiles of Middle Class Households
|
The term "middle class" carries a variety of meanings, and they are typically tied to the income a household earns. While there's no official definition of middle class, the Pew Research Center considers households earning between 67 percent and 200 percent of the median family income as middle class. Nationwide, that's an income range of $39,554 to $118,072 notes thebalance.com.
