Four in 10 U.S. TV homes had access to at least one subscription video on demand (SVOD) service as of November 2014, Nielsen reports in a recent study that finds SVOD penetration to be “strongly income-related.”
Almost half of SVOD households had an income of at least $75k, per the report, for a median income of $74.9k.
By comparison, only one-third of broadband households without SVOD had incomes of at least $75k, for a median of $54.8k.
Separately, Nielsen notes that SVOD households are more likely than the typical TV household to be young and have children present.
