- $50-$99 is lower middle

- $500-$999 is lower upper
Etc.
That’s the scale I’ve always used (household income).
Most millennials fall in the lower middle or middle bucket.

- athenot 7y agoThis is probably accurate given how our society really is structured. But following your thresholds: - 61% of incomes are below lower middle - 26% of incomes are lower middle (median being $61,822) - 10% of incomes are middle - 3% (nearly) of incomes are upper-middle - <1% is remaining… Data from https://dqydj.com/income-percentile-calculator/ https://dqydj.com/income-percentile-calculator/ Caveat, this is individual income, and you're talking about household income, so not quite the same for couples where both work.
