Demand Snapshot

Historical Fiction as a whole is a high-volume, competitively dense category with a power index of 58.2 and an STC ratio just above 1.0, signaling that supply is nearly matching demand — a 'Beaten Track Mainstream' position. Within the 1920s slash Jazz Age subgenre, reader appetite for immersive Roaring Twenties atmosphere, prohibition-era moral complexity, and underrepresented voices is rising steadily, while straight Gatsby-clone narratives centered on wealthy white socialites are cooling fast. KU penetration at ~29% is moderate, suggesting readers will buy outright for the right book but KU enrollment is still worth considering for discoverability. Average price of $7.28 indicates a healthy mid-tier pricing sweet spot.
