There is a clear plateau over $75k. No difference in tithe status stats between $80k and $200k. but more difficult to interpret the dynamics below $75k. Is $30-50k really the least likely to pay tithing -maybe the most economically challenging, if welfare cushions the lowest two categories? Or are these differences just noise?

Hmm I am inclined to say it would just be noise, but you bring up an interesting point about welfare programs and I'm not really sure the answer.

I wish we could see questions on the below which would provide more clarity...

1. Do you participate in any government assistance programs?

2. Why are you not a full-tithe payer?

- I don't have the money to pay tithing and provide for my basic needs

- I have the money to pay tithing, but choose not to for my own reasons.
