In December 2023 and January 2024, WebAIM surveyed preferences of screen reader users. They received 1,539 valid responses.

The shared report provides great insight for anyone wanting to provide a better user experience for screen reader users. Especially the statistics around usage of landmarks and how users find information. The report also tells us that navigating web pages by heading is still very usfeul.

I encourage developers to read the section on problematic items, which ranks CAPTCHA, interactive elements, ambiguous links/buttons, unexpected screen changes, and a lack of keyboard accessibility as the top five most problematic web components.
