Wealthier teens are more likely to favor Snapchat while their counterparts from lower income families are more likely to favor Facebook.

That's one of the many findings from the Pew Research Center's Teens, Social Media, and Technology report released earlier this year.

As the chart to the right shows, the percentage of teens who use Snapchat most often increases as household income grows.

Fourteen percent of teens from households that earn over $75,000 per year report that Snapchat is the app they use most often, according to the Pew Research Center report, while only 7% of respondents from families who earn less than $30,000 per year reported Snapchat as the app they use most often.

Teens from less affluent households, according to the survey, report that they use Facebook most often. 49% of teens from households that earn less than $50,000 per year say that Facebook is the service they use most often, while only 37% of teens from households with incomes of $50,000 or more per year report the same.
