In 2022, over 67 percent of adults with a family income 400 percent or higher than the federal poverty level (FPL) in the United States reported having walked for leisure in the past seven days. In comparison, less than half of adults whose family income was below the federal poverty level had walked for leisure in the past week.

The source provides the following information: "Family income is expressed as a percentage of the federal poverty level (FPL), which was calculated from the family’s income in the previous calendar year and family size using the U.S. Census Bureau’s poverty thresholds. Walking for leisure was based on a yes response to the survey question, “Sometimes you may walk for fun, relaxation, exercise, or to walk the dog. In the past 7 days, did you walk for any of these reasons?” Estimates are based on household interviews of a sample of the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population."
