Consistent with past research on ACEs, there were notable differences in mean ACE scores in the socioeconomic categories of education, income, and employment [11]. Income generally had a linear relationship with ACEs (i.e., greater income was associated with lower mean ACE scores), with the exception that making $35,000 to $49,999 had a higher mean ACE score than those making $25,000 to $34,000, though the difference was not statistically significant.
