A new study from SmartAsset shows that middle class income ranges vary widely across the largest 100 U.S. cities. Fremont, California, has the highest-earning middle class with those earning up to $311,936 still falling in the middle-income range there. SmartAsset used a variation of Pew’s middle class calculation to determine where middle class Americans are making the most money. High local median incomes tend to correlate with high costs of living.
