To better understand the economic landscape of these regions, it’s essential to analyze the income thresholds that define the middle class. According to Pew Research, the middle class in a state is often defined by household incomes between two-thirds and twice the state’s median income. This definition reflects the economic divide within each state.

In New York, for instance, a household earning at least $131,566 qualifies as the upper-middle class, which is higher than the median. Similarly, in New Jersey, the threshold is around $157,189, while in Connecticut, it drops to approximately $145,849. These figures highlight the significant income differences that drive economic distinction.

Going further east, in New Jersey, the minimum annual household income to qualify for being upper-middle class is significantly higher, reaching $157,189. Conversely, inilli strips like Mississippi, the income threshold is much lower, requiring at least $85,423 to meet the criteria. These examples underscore the vast variation in economic opportunities across the country.

States with larger populations and economies, such as Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York, have higher income thresholds for the upper-middle class. In contrast, states with smaller populations and economies, such as Mississippi or states with shared population with New York and New Jersey, have lower minimum incomes. These regional differences drive economic inequality.

erville from New York earns $30k by the age of 35 but struggles to afford places like a badminton court, reflecting systemic economic challenges. These examples consistently show the struggles of upper-middle class residents insupports like urban areas or towns upstate.

Whether earning $150k to $500k can provide a comfortable life, depending on where one lives. Such examples illustrate the importance of understanding regional income disparities, whether in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut.
