Migrants to IJ, 2007

I think that the stats over at LJ are skewed for a possible combination of reasons:

-Those above teeny-bopper age do not put their year of birth out on the internet as they have a more developed sense of reasonable privacy.

-The age statistics (if correct) are for all accounts ever created. If you will notice, something like 1/3 of them have never been updated and only about 1/4 of them are currently active. I think the 16-21 age group are more likely to have fun with the account for a day or a week and then move on to some other space.

-The age statistics (taking the two above point into consideration) are not something that behooves LJ to correct in any way as the demographic they are selling to advertisers looks more young and hip in with the incorrect numbers.

Anyway, the median age and average age of people in my segment of LJ is/was about 30-35. I always thought that just might be in my little corner, but I think it's probably more accurate overall than I thought.
