Study: What Factors Make Someone More Likely to Vote?

There are many studies that have been performed over the years by groups that are interested in finding out which people are more susceptible to voting, and which ones are not. There are certain factors that will make you more, or less, likely to vote.

Two of the prime factors in finding out who votes more often then others are economic and educational status. The higher someone's income, the more likely they are to vote. People who are considered to be in poverty status rarely ever vote.

People of the highest levels of education are more likely to vote then those who have not completed very much schooling. Almost 97% of people who have received a doctorate, vote on a regular basis.

People who live in suburban cities are more likely to vote then those who live in the inner city. People who live in the furthest rural areas rarely ever vote. People who have lived in an area for more then five years are more likely to vote then those who are newer to the area.

There are some inner city areas that look down on residents for voting. These groups state that voting is worthless, and should not be done. Members of these areas are not likely to ever vote.

Homeowners are more likely to vote then renters at almost a 3:1 margin in the United States. The larger a person's house, the more likely they are to vote. New mothers are less likely to vote then mothers that have children that are over the age of two.

People who live with other people are more likely to vote then those who live alone. The ratio for this is about 4:1.

Catholics have the highest percentage of regular voters, followed closely by those of the Jewish belief system. Members of the Evangelical religions are in the middle or the spectrum, while Buddhists are at the far end.

Business professionals are the most likely workers to vote, followed very closely by Union members. Unskilled, non-union members are the least likely to vote.

People who work in high-rise office buildings are more likely to vote then those people that work in smaller offices. The taller the building, the more likely someone is to vote.

Members of protest groups or social groups are more likely to vote then those who are not as active in their area's politics. People who are involved in social organizations are more likely to vote then those who are not.

There are many areas that are covered here. It could then be assumed that rich and powerful Catholics that have large established homes with older children are the most likely to vote (Full pun intended).
