Daily News | No one in the U.S. eats dinner as early as Pennsylvanians, new report says
data visualization site Flowing Data, the average Pennsylvania household starts eating dinner at 5:37 p.m.from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to analyze when households across the country were eating. He did not include 2020 data, which was incomplete because of the COVID-19 pandemic.He found that Pennsylvania eats earliest, with Maine coming in second place. Meanwhile, D.C. starts eating dinner the latest at 7:10 p.m. In New Jersey, dinner starts at 6:17 p.m., according to Yau.
According to World Population Review data, Pennsylvania has the eighth-highest age of residents; the average age of Pennsylvanians is 40.9 years old. But states including Maine, Vermont, Florida, and Delaware all have higher median ages and later average dinnertimes. Other factors that could play a role in early dining times include family makeup and cultural diversity. For instance, a family with young kids may eat earlier than a childless couple.
Yau suspects that in D.C.’s case, the late dinners are driven by the area’s much smaller geography compared to other states and a lack of variation in people’s work and commute schedules, leading to a narrower range than other states surveyed. His analysis also revealed that most households eat dinner between 5:07 p.m. and 8:15 p.m., with peak dinnertime dropping at 6:19 p.m.
