Is it safe? Answer our reader survey questions

Is this the right thread?! Anyway, survey is done. Unsurprising demographics 🙂

One thought – the answers to membership levels might be a bit skewed given your recent request for help. If it weren’t for that my answer would have been “No and no plans to be”. Depends what you want to do with that data I guess, but maybe weight the full membership count using new members in the last month or so.

Survey done.

“ Unlike normal surveys this one gives you the results every time you submit an answer.”

Just like Pinkbike does?

I’m pretty sure I should report this – clearly mark is just spamming the forum with duplicate threads and starting new ones when the previous one gets closed. Treats it like he owns the place he does.

Where are the mods when you need them eh? Too busy keeping up with the QE thread I guess.

😉

the majority taking the survey are male, middle aged, have high incomes

I’m not sure you can make that second leap from the survey.

Given the age range is average 41-50 and that many households are going to have at least two people earning (possibly more, especially in lower income households where multiple renters is common) it doesn’t need much to tick into the “higher” brackets (unless the distribution has changed most were in the up to 100k bracket).

2 forty ish year olds on median salary aren’t far off that bracket, add in a teenager with a Saturday job and you’re into that one.
Also the gender pay gap is wider at higher age groups so “male and 40+” is going to heavily skew the average wage upwards too (though likely in the same households one of the other earners will be female in the same broad age group so household income tends to be closer to the median)

4 people on 39 hours at minimum wage puts you in the same bracket and isn’t unlikely if those 4 people want to “make rent” in a lot of places.

I probably broke the thread yesterday – you were probably deleting my post while I was editing it! Sorry about that, and the post. 🙂

FWIW – I’m logged in today and it’s allowing me to fill it in again (if I were inclined to, I haven’t though).

offer this for the group to discuss but initial comment is that the age data seems to correspond to the user reported data in the survey but ‘so far’ the gender split does not.

So “40 something blokes on a high wage” are significantly more likely to be filling their work day completing surveys on the internet than less will paid or female counterparts?

I don’t suppose that’s a surprise to anyone.

Mark, I’m genuinely curious as to how GA works out the gender of the reader – is it based on other site visiting habits? Do we tell them some other way somehow? Curious how it’s done…

Harvesting data for what purpose?

took your survey, but if i try to look at it i get an error message – no such key So I’ve no idea if its gone through or not.
