I mean... the middle of the fifth century was literally the unequivocal end of the Western Roman Empire and "Rome". Your point is a little out of place because this period isn't simply representative of long-term fluctuations in wealth and status; it was literally the demise of Rome as the epicenter of the Western world. "Rome" after this period was something else entirely.

I think my point still stands. There was a lot of variation in the quality of life of a city dweller.
