It should be noted and remembered that Charles Murray is depicting FICTIONAL towns.

IIRC, Belmont is a Boston suburb, and Fishtown is a Philadelphia neighborhood.

To represent the classes at the two ends of the continuum, I give you two fictional neighborhoods that I hereby label Belmont (after an archetypal upper-middle-class suburb near Boston) and Fishtown (after a neighborhood in Philadelphia that has been white working class since the Revolution).

I see no support for his depictions. I’m not saying there *is* none, but none is supplied here.
