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.

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?
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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?

I think expensive is equated with high class as the general concept of social class in the U.S.

But that's precisely the point that Jessica is questioning.

I think expensive is associated with high-class. Not equated.
