GVU's Seventh WWW User Survey General Graphs

Household Income

Notes:

The mean average household income is $58k (US dollars). This number agrees quite well with the findings of random telephone surveys. The distribution of income levels of those who responded to this question is very similar to the Sixth and Fifth Surveys: Less than $29K: 23.94%, $30-50K: 27.96%, over $50K: 48.1%. Europe has a higher percentage of users with incomes less than $10K, which is not surprising since many European users are students. As one would also expect, older users report higher income levels, with 60.35% of 50+ yr. olds reporting income over $50K compared to only 26.37% 19-25 yr. olds. Females tend to report lower income levels than their male counterparts.
