Average US family income is $33,000? Yeah, I don't think that qualifies as "middle class" any more. Maybe 30 years ago.
I think of "middle class" as being able to have a comfortable lifestyle with enough money to pay the bills on time, own a home, and afford a few luxuries. There are not many places left in the country where you can do that for $33,000.
