The calculations on that seem like crap. They are counting up to $100k as middle income in Louisiana. $110k and up as upper income.

LA median income is $47k so double that is still middle class?

Was kind of hoping this tool would actually tell you what percent you are not just give a broad number of "upper class us 24% where you live"

That is a huge gap

Higher than 5% in my area by a decent amount.......whatever. I live in Stirling Ridge. I can’t be top 5% especially with Carlton Woods sitting in the middle.

Based on your household income and the number of people in your household, YOU are in the UPPER income tier, along with 23% of adults in BATON ROUGE.

Shockingly enough I’m Upper in DFW. Clearly not enough to get into Highland Park though
