Compete ran some numbers last month on the average income levels for each of the top 6 social networking sites in the US.
They examined Pinterest, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Google+.

This lower income rates for Tumblr users can be attributed to the younger demographic of the site. LinkedIn and Google+, likewise, have two of the older demographics among the most popular social networks.

Please also note that the Google+ breakdown is missing 1
