With a special day to celebrate all that’s good about lefties, now is the perfect time to dig into the details about this unique group of consumers. Here’s what the data show about what sets left handed people apart from the rest:
Time on the Internet: While 33% of those who are left-handed say they spend an hour or less on the internet each day, just 24% of right-handed Americans say the same.
Gym Equipment Access: More than half (52%) of lefties own or have access to gym equipment. Meanwhile, just over one in three (36%) righties report the same.
Bedtimes: Those who identify as left-handed are six percentage points more likely to go to bed between 11pm and 12am than those who identify as right-handed (27% vs 21%).
Local News Viewership: Lefties are nearly twice as likely as righties to say they watch local television news a few times a week (26% vs 14%).
Pet Preferences: While 32% of left-handed people say they own one or more cats, just 20% of right-handed people say the same.
