Between 2022 and 2023, the share of the middle-class population across federal subjects of Russia was the lowest in the Ingushetia Republic, where 1.4 percent of households were considered middle class. In the Chechen Republic, this ratio amounted to approximately 1.7 percent. All the regions in the top five, with the exception of the Kalmykia Republic, were located in the North Caucasian Federal District.

Families were categorized as middle class when they could afford to purchase a car and an apartment corresponding to their family size, as well as afford a quality annual vacation, and when after paying for car and housing loans, they had no less than two subsistence minimums for each person left for everyday expenses. In addition, such families can create small emergency savings every month.
The analysis was carried out independently for nine types of family composition. The study considered the families where at least one member had a job. The resulting share is the weighted average of these nine types.
