Check out the chart in the linked article. When we look at the income of the middle 50% of the population (i.e. from the 25th to 75th percentiles) an interesting trend appears -- middle class people do best on the west coast. The top four cities for middle class income are all on the west coast (San Jose, Seattle, San Francisco, and Portland).
