And Allan, you're above average in several ways that I can think of!

Was just looking at some pics of your visit on the First Great Mudcat Adventure.

Fun thread.

Seems to me that our resident statistician decided some time ago that our average age was 59. If that is still the case I am about 8 above average. Being above average is new and quite foreign to me.

I get the impression is that the average age of Mudcatters is getting higher at close to real time: while there certainly are young mudcatters most posters seem to have been here at least as long as I have

The other day I wondered what happened between age 68 and now? 68 sounds pretty old to me- 78 is fairly spry.

I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now.

I'm finding it very interesting, scrolling through this thread--besides confirming my suspicion that not many of us young'ns find their way here--to think about what age the posters are *now*.

Everybody, you've aged 14 years! Or 11, if you were one of the '02 posters...

I couldn't figure out how to change the text on "From:". So... I'm female, 46, that's very close to the Average Mudcat Age.

Also interesting that the ratio between M's and F's hasn't changed all that much (about a third of us are female... Back on May 9, 1999, there were 90 M's and 41 F's responding -- also about a third).

Though internet wide, the online population is creeping closer to 50/50 (though we're not quite there yet). So, does that mean that the field of trad/roots music is male dominated in general?

...Or just that guys are more interested in answering surveys and breaking things down into demographics? ;-)

OK, I have faced up to doing the stats. First of all, I have only included those who posted this year as I can't be sure how many of the previous Mudcatter's are still here. This may leave out a lot of people who didn't bother reposting.

These are the previously reported figures:

Average Mudcat age is 46.4 years, M = 47.3, F = 44.3.

Age Range is 15 - 74, M = 19 - 74, F = 15 - 63

Modal range is M = 45 - 49, F = 50 - 54

And the new figures:

Average Mudcat Age is 46.23, M= 51.5, F=35.2

Age Range is 17-74, M=26-74, F=17-60

Modal Range is M = 53, F= 40

It is based on a much smaller sample of 21 M and 10 F

It is interesting that the mean age hasn't changed, so Mudcat isn't just the same old faces getting older!
