Earning more than $110,000 in household income doesn't — but in most states, it means you're upper-middle class.

Nationwide, upper-middle class households earn a median income between $117,000 and $150,000, according to a new of 2023 Census Bureau data.

The analysis is based on Pew Research's definition of middle class: households earning between two-thirds and twice their state's median income. Using the most recent Census data from 2023, GOBankingRates calculated the middle class range for each state, then used the top third to determine what was upper-middle class.

At the state level, the income range for upper-middle class varies widely. In Maryland — where many high-earning government workers live in affluent suburbs near Washington, D.C. — households earning between $158,125 and $203,304 fall into the upper-middle class.

In contrast, the mostly rural state of Mississippi has the lowest range of all states, starting at $85,423 and capping at $109,830.

Below, see how much your household would need to earn to be considered upper-middle class in your state — and how that compares to the state's median income.
