Penetration of print book consumption in the U.S. 2019, by household income

Book consumption often varies according to age, gender, and ethnicity, but another key factor which affects how frequently U.S. adults read is their income. A survey held in early 2019 showed that 78 percent of respondents with an annual household income of more than 75,000 U.S. dollars a year stated they had read at least one printed book in the previous 12 months, compared to just 56 percent of those earning 30 thousand per year or less.

书籍消费往往受年龄、性别及种族等因素影响，然而，影响美国成年人阅读频率的另一关键因素则是其收入水平。一项于2019年初进行的调查显示，在年收入超过75,000美元的家庭中，78%的受访者表示在过去12个月内至少阅读过一本印刷书籍，而年收入30,000美元或以下的人群中，这一比例仅为56%。
