Original Note:
The 2023 median household income was $80k. $181k was in the top 20% https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2024/demo/p60-282.html Middle class is defined as between 2/3 and double the median income ($80k). $181k is more than double, and would only be considered middle class in very affluent suburbs (like Carmel) where data is skewed. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/09/16/are-you-in-the-american-middle-class/
