It's the families that are well off enough to not struggle, but not well off enough to be considered rich. So literally the families between rich and poor.

So typically, that meant they owned a home, owned a car, etc. Nowadays though with inflation and a huge chunk of the country living paycheck to paycheck, middle class looks different. According to Yahoo finance, anything from $50,000 to $150,000 is considered middle class (based on the median income in the country). And most people aren't going to be able to afford to buy a home on $50,000 a year, unless they live in a very low cost of living area.
