I don’t think your definition of middle class is what most people use when they talk about it.
This is really obvious if you think about people remarking on the death of the middle class. They’re not saying that the mean or the median doesn’t exist. They are saying that families like the Simpsons are much less common than they used to be.
it puts you into about 60-80% of the american households.
middle class by default would be 40-60%
“It’s barely middle class for most places now.” is hyperbolic
