52% of U.S. adults lived in middle-income households in 2022 - are you one of them? 

Pew Research Center’s income calculator lets you see which income group you fall into and compares you with: 

• Other adults in your metro area
• U.S. adults overall 
• U.S. adults similar to you in education, race or ethnicity, and marital status 

Questions:

• The real median household income was $74,580 in 2022 (United States Census Bureau). Which income tier would a single person with this income be in if they lived in the closest metro area to you? 
• How would this change if there were two people in the household with the same income? 
• Play around with the demographic filters for Education, Age, Race/Ethnicity, and Marital Status. How does the income tier change as you modify these filters?
