The economic background of those experiencing inceldom (involuntary celibacy) appears to be very diverse. A survey from the incel forum [[incels.co]] reports 59% middle class, 33.8% lower class, and 7.2% upper class (N = 550).<ref>https://incels.co/threads/survey-results-for-october-2019.147774/</ref> | |||
Further, 50% had a high school degree (or are in high schooll), 38.8% college and 11.2% graduate school.<ref>https://incels.co/threads/survey-results-for-october-2019.147774/</ref> These data are not necessarily representative of incels overall. [[#Germany|Data from Germany]] suggest that university students are possibly around twice as likely to never have had sex compared to others of similar age, and further supports the notion that incels have diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. | |||

According to a peer-reviewed study, the stereotype that [[incels.co]] is mostly white is incorrect. The paper stated, "It is impossible to say whether the majority of Incels.me users are white men, but our data implies that this may be less true than expected". "However, there is one major and important difference to other […] communities: The community is more heterogeneous than other […] communities, because users are not united by a common goal, but by a feature that its individuals share, i.e., not being able to engage in social and/or sexual contacts." "There is no definite evidence that [[Incels.is|Incels.me]] users are predominantly white, contrary to what is often reported about incels,"<ref>http://www.organisms.be/downloads/incels.pdf</ref> | According to a peer-reviewed study, the stereotype that [[incels.co]] is mostly white is incorrect.
