According to the Household Pulse Survey, individuals who live in households with lower incomes are generally experiencing more days feeling depressed, down, or hopeless than those with higher incomes. Individuals at all income levels are experiencing these feelings at a higher rate than the estimated rate of the population that has experienced depression, according to the CDC's Behavioral Health Risk Factor Surveillance System data. These two data aren't entirely comparable, so this gives a picture of the difference but is not exact.
