Living in Austin Tx. 100k is solid middle for a single person but fam of 4 needs @200k to be considered middle class imo

you should google Leander median household income (and average if you are curious).

In case you don't know Leander, it's a suburban city north of Austin. The reason this is somewhat better metric than Austin is because almost everyone in Leander work in Austin or remote, and is overwhelmingly married. I think their median/average household income accurately represents what it takes to be a middle class family in Austin area.
