Research has shown that individuals from middle- and upper-income backgrounds tend to include more details and a larger area when asked to draw maps of their residential areas. This is likely because they have greater access to and interaction with a wider area in their communities, possibly due to having more resources, such as cars and free time. In contrast, lower-income individuals often have more limited access and interactions within their communities, leading to maps with fewer details and a smaller area covered.
