30. National median is $43,000
US Census Bureau breakdowns Upper limit of Fifths/Household

2003 $9,996 $25,678 $43,588 $68,994 $147,078 $253,239

I think the breakdowns can be useful for some things. Breakdowns give a general idea of what type of lifestyle one can live and what tax bracket one is in. But they do not provide any info on whether or not someone is wealthy. Someone can be earning $253,000 and not be wealthy.

Net Worth (worth after all debt is deducted) is how to measure wealth.
