After a boatload of polling, the next Herd Census report has been released! Quite a few really interesting tidbits of information have popped up. Head on down past the break for everything!
After a month of furious number crunching, the first report from the 2013 Brony Herd Census is now complete. The "2013 State of the Herd Report: Basic Statistics" contains the basic information gathered for every questions in the survey. Later reports will look at more in-depth relationships between various factors, such as how gender and age affect attitudes about the fandom (and, of course, favorite pony.)
The report can be downloaded as a PDF document by going to http://www.herdcensus.com. Over the next few days, the full set of charts from the report will also become available on the Herd Census site, in a gallery section.
Some highlights from the initial report:
- The Brony herd has aged slightly from 2012, but is still young, with a mean age just over 20.
- 24% of Bronies reported being in a serious relationship in the 12 months
- Mexico now has the 6th largest concentration of Bronies, bumping down Sweden and Finland.
- Bronies have a significantly lower degree of divorce in their families, compared to the US average.
- 64% of Bronies are full time students
- Only 2.4% of Bronies cosplay regularly
- Nearly three quarters of Bronies have never attended a meetup
- More than 90% of Bronies believe that the term 'Brony' applies to either men or women
- 46% of Bronies listen to Brony music nearly every day
- One rare personality type accounts for 28% of all Bronies
- Applejack is not among the 6 favorite characters of the fandom (but you'll need to read the report to see who took her place in the "Mane Six")
