How Much Money Makes You Middle Class in Your State?

GOBankingRates then added data from the U.S. Census American Community Survey to produce a state-by-state breakdown of where the boundaries lie.
The data shows that the income required to be considered middle class varies dramatically across the country — sometimes by tens of thousands of dollars.
