Rich/Poor are far too relative to assign numbers too, even within the same country. I live in one of the most expensive cities in Australia/World(Canberra), if your household is earning less than 60k you would definitely rank as poor and struggle to even pay the bills (Not an issue for me as my household would be more than 4 times that yet not considered wealthy). My home town where I grew up is a 2 hour drive from here. There you could live on 30k a year which would be lucky to even cover the rent on a dump in Canberra.
