Middle class is anybody who is not poor and not rich.

So it is clear from this definition that the lower bound for it is income of $48,500 from what you are not considered poor anymore and upper bound is income of $145,500 from what you are considered rich.

Now the most important consideration is - if a person can't afford a home, then can they really considered to be not poor?
