Income

---

Notes:

• The estimated average household income for the Fifth Survey is $59,000 US dollars. As with the Third and Fourth Surveys, this questions received the most 'Rather not Say!' responses (14.0%), nearly seven times greater than any other question.

• The average income for the Fifth Survey is slightly lower than the Fourth Survey ($63,000) and much lower than the Third Survey ($69,000). We do note that for the Fifth Survey, we changed the ranges provided to the users of values to more accurately reflect normal income levels.

• As with previous surveys, the European users have more users in the lower income brackets (23.0% under $20k) and fewer above $50k (31.3%). This trend is due to the strong presence of students in the European Web user community.

Notes:

• Female users typically report lower household income levels than their male counterparts, especially in the over $50K income brackets.

• As with the Fourth Survey, more women chose the 'Rather not Say!' than men (16.7% female vs 12.7% male), though this was less than reported in the Fourth Survey( 18.3%).

Notes:

• As one would expect is directly proportional to age, with the 19-25 yr old age group reports having less income than the older age groups (29.4% under $20k). For the 26-50 yr old age group, 48.4% report a household income above $50k, with 61.5% over $50k for the over 50 yr old age group.
