$100,000 isn't even 'rich' nowdays, that's below middle class especially if we're talking about an actual family unit. I can guarantee that if this research further stratified things into $100-200k, and $200k+ you would see the results continue to improve as people cross the threshold into middle class.
This survey can be seen as comparing people in poverty level income vs everyone else.
A lot of the lower income kids are from single parent homes (which is why they can't cross the $100.000 threshold), those will obviously have less access to a male role model.
If you correct for that the numbers would likely get closer, not further apart.
I assume you mean single parent but housing scarcity does indeed relate to precarity.
Yes, sorry, I meant single parent. I don't mean to fight against the idea that income is correlated to the problem, just that "lack of male role models" cannot be reduced to income inequality.
