Once again, the income range quoted in the article seems to correspond to the Thompson & Hickey 2005 definition of "Lower middle class". Mostly likely the people moving in to replace the displayed Lower-middle-classers are Upper-middle-classers making $75,000-$250,000, with only a sprinkling of Upper-classers (aka the 1%).<p>So once again pitting the middle against itself...<p>(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_middle_class" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_middle_class</a>)
