Don't get me wrong I'd love to be top 20%, but they're still so solidly middle class it's not even funny.

I definitely get that from a reasonable perspective. But then I think about the words being used, and part of me wants terms like "upper" and "middle" to represent portions of a whole that have broadly similar sizes. But that doesn't really reflect the realities of the meaningful differences between two different lives usually meant by the terms, so that part of me needs to take a back seat.
