Methodology: For this study, GOBankingRates analyzed cities in California to find the places with the highest percentage of middle-class households. Using the U.S. Census American Community Survey, the total households, total population, population ages 65 and over, household median income, and number of households with household income between $50,000 and $150,000. To qualify for this study, the California city had to have a population of at least 5,000. The percentage of households that earn between $50,000 and $150,000 were the middle-class households, and the percentage of households that fall within that category were calculated. All data was collected on and is up to date as of April 10, 2025.
