What Sports Do Rich Kids Play? (Survey Results)

How do sports and income relate? Specifically, how do the sports you played in high school relate with your household income. Which sports do more educated parents have their kids play? We surveyed 500 US high school graduates about what sports they played in high school, their parents’ household income, and their parents’ highest education achieved.

Key Findings:

The rich kids played hockey. Hockey and income had the strongest correlation, meaning the wealthier your family was, the more likely you were to play hockey. This makes sense given the amount of equipment and facilities needed to play.
Soccer was played by everybody. Soccer and income had the weakest correlation, meaning that income didn’t matter in whether or not you played soccer. This also makes sense given the minimal equipment needed to play.
