Facebook introduces household income targeting based on US ZIP code averages

The new ad targeting feature will allow marketers to direct ads to people within specific income brackets and customize creative based upon the typical products or perceived needs of people in that income bracket. The feature does not identify specific income ranges, but instead lets advertisers choose income levels based on where the user’s household income falls percentage-wise, i.e. top 5 percent, top 10 percent, top 10 to 25 percent and top 25 to 50 percent.The new targeting feature was brought to Marketing Land’s attention via a Tweet by Facebook ad expert and president of AKvertise social media marketing agency, Akvile DeFazio.
