AUSTIN - A new study shows how much a person in Austin needs to make in order to be considered middle-class.

The annual study from SmartAsset calculated the middle-class income ranges for 100 major U.S. cities and all 50 states.

Middle-class in Texas

In order to be considered middle-class in Texas, you need to make between $50,515 and $151,560, according to the study.

That put the Lone Star State as the 23rd highest of the 50 states.
