Readership by Quintile
What are the AB, C, D, E & FG Quintiles?
Roy Morgan Research developed its Socio-economic Scale over 35 years ago to assist marketers in identifying target audiences according to their socio-economic status. There are five segments or quintiles called AB, C, D, E and FG that each represent around 20% of the total population (hence ‘quintiles’ or fifths). The ABs represent the top 20% of the population (based on a score comprising a combination of their income, education and occupation) and the FGs the lowest 20%.
Today the socio-economic quintiles are widely used and are highly accepted across many industries. While luxury car companies, for example, may be more likely to focus on ABs, each of the other quintiles can provide equally appealing targets depending on the product or service being offered.
