Methodology: GOBankingRates analyzed the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2023 American Community Survey 5-year data to determine how much a two-, three- and four-person upper-middle-class family earns. Pew Research Center defines the middle class as making two-thirds (66.66%) to double (200%) the national median income. In order to find out how much an upper-middle-class family is earning, GOBankingRates multiplied each median income by 1.55557 for the lower limit and by 2 for the upper limit. All data was collected on and up to date as of July 8, 2025.
