Bay Area Leads the U.S. for Middle-Class Income Growth

• San Francisco posted America’s largest five-year income gain for middle-class households, with earnings up by more than 30 percent.
• Of the 20 U.S. cities with the fastest-rising incomes, Fremont workers earn the largest annual salaries: more than $122,000.
• Over the past two decades, the number of Oakland households who take home between $75,000 and $100,000 has nearly doubled.

It’s the second time this month that Bay Area professionals have been noted for their earning powers. Two weeks ago, Bloomberg’s annual list of America’s wealthiest places named Atherton as the country’s most affluent community, with an annual household income of more than $450,000. Other Bay Area communities that rank among the country’s 50 richest can be found in San Mateo, Santa Clara, Marin, Contra Costa, and Alameda counties.
