characteristics


Explanation:
I would use "characteristics" here. It seems to be the closest word relevant in this case.

Example sentence(s):
  • "CHARACTERISTICS of Social Class"
  • "While socioeconomic status is generally considered a CHARACTERISTIC of individuals, contextual measures of social class may also be relevant in explaining patterns of health."
