What do you mean by "rich"?

If you go by New Mexico, where the mean household income is $70,760, and define rich to be "the 1%".

And assume that income distribution is distributed exponentially..

  http://arxiv.org/pdf/cond-mat/0008305v2.pdf

Then "rich" households ought to start at $326k (1%), $212k (5%), $163k (10%), $114k (20%).

The first link says that 3.6% of families in NM population make more than $200k.
