Based on this definition, there is exactly one upper MC zip code (i.e. a zip code where at least half of all population is upper MC) in the entire county, and that is 92067, Rancho Santa Fe.
If I massage the data a little bit, by excluding everyone who lives in apartments and condos, for example, I can get Del Mar, Solana Beach and Carmel Valley into that category.
I think that you’re seriously overestimating the average wealth/income of San Diegans.
Or maybe we have different concepts of “lower MC/upper MC”. It seems that, in your worldview, the 60th percentile is “lower MC” and even the 90th percentile is still “middle class”.
