Locations in Oldtown by Wealth

Destitute

Usually denizens of the Undercity in Oldtown. Those with this level of wealth do not get housing, instead, they can have a Tent/Lean-to/Crate objects to live in. Beggar's Ghetto or the Undercity itself is the place to drop these objects. A destitute person has no constant or stable income.

Poor

The Commons is the area for those who are poor in Oldtown. Farmers, Laborers, the real physical jobs usually pay enough for a Poor person to survive, but it's often not a pretty life. Sometimes a few different poor families live in the same place to make ends meet. Least it's not the Beggar's Ghetto.

Comfortable

Craftsmen, merchants, servants to noble houses and that level of profession tend to live comfortably. They can afford a home in the Market, or maybe are lucky enough to be given a servant's room at their noble's home. For a noble to be below this level of wealth they have truly fallen on hard times. This is typically the lowest level for nobles to be at.

Wealthy

This is the richest a member of the smallfolk can get! Courtesans, Master Craftsmen, Guild Leaders, the cream of the crop of the Smallfolk. For the nobility, this level is what Comfortable level is for the smallfolk. Sphinx Street is the neighborhood for the richest of smallfolk, and nobles that care for a more austere area. Minor Houses often have this level of wealth. The only Great House to be a bit tucked out of the way in the Whispering Wharf area is the Greyjoy Manor.

Rich

River Road in the Arts District with its views of the river and the space for gardens and courtyards makes for a luxurious area for Rich Nobles to live and shop. Major Houses often have this level of wealth. Because noble houses must pay the Citadel to earn a Maester assignment, this is the level required for a House to have their own Maester.

Opulent

Houses like the Lannisters, Targaryen, and Tyrells, never need concern themselves with how much things cost. The Great Houses of Westeros nearly all have sprawling estates on Beacon Boulevard in Oldtown. Or for the Hightowers, Targaryens, Tyrells those three take up entire islands in the Honeywine River off of Hightower Bridge.
