It goes from sterotypical lower class neighborhoods to the sterotypical upper class neighborhoods.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

My extended family has a hard time reconciling that I had almost the most expensive education amongst us and when you factor earrings and cost of living live near the bottom of the bunch.
I like the typo. Must be some serious BLING to knock you all the way down to the bottom of the bunch.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But we can all do that drive. How can you tell if the people in the upper class neighbourhoods are living within their means, and that the people in the lower class neighbourhoods aren't sitting on wads of cash?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
But does it tell you anything about wealth and class outside of Kansas City?
I don't think there is an "American" definition of class. I don't think it's anywhere near that simple.

I think in general it's safe to assume that more expensive neighborhoods will have more wealth. There may be exceptions, but I'm thinking more a general perception of class.

In general, yes. My experience (as noted above with the relative chronically beyond her means, living in one of Metro Detroit's toniest neighbourhoods just so she could say she did) is that the line is so blurry that I can't be as absolute as expensive neighbourhood == wealth == class.
You're already equating expensive with high class, so what is proven by the drive?
