Chi-square test is used for attributes(not numerical variable), so if the researcher is going to use the chi-square test, variables under study must be of categorical type.
Age, annual income and number of hours per week are numerical variables(measured on ratio scale), therefore they do not qualify under study.
Chi-square test is performed after observing frequency under different levels of given attributes.
Therefore, the researcher can use following variables :
political affiliation and residential status
