    Here are the six factors it looked at to determine where the middle class is thriving: (1) median household income in 2017; 2015 and 2012; (2) two-year median household income growth; (3) five-year median household income growth; (4) mean income for third quintile (40 percent- 60 percent) of household earners, 2017, 2015 and 2012; (5) two-year quintile income growth; (6) five-year third quintile income growth.
