» Home » Junk mail facts
The junk mail you receive through your letterbox can be divided into three categories: addressed junk mail, unaddressed junk mail and free newspapers.
The table below specifies how many of these different types of junk mail different socio-economic groups receive per month. People in the two higher classes get slightly more unsolicited mail than the average person does, but the differences are not that significant. The main conclusion seems to be that when it comes to junk mail it doesn't really matter whether you are rich or poor; bulk mailers will target you all the same.
