As promised, we’ve got the results of the reader survey that ran from last Friday morning through Monday afternoon. Based on the 882 responses (out of the 100,000 or so people who visit the site every month), 52 percent of readers are male and 48 percent are female (with at least one abstension). Exactly half are in their Thirties, two-thirds have household incomes in excess of $100,000 and more than 95 percent have a college degree or higher (we expect to see fewer typos going forward!). In terms of geography, 85 percent of readers live in Brooklyn, with the greatest numbers hailing from Park Slope, Clinton Hill and Carroll Gardens, in that order. Of the two-thirds of respondents who own their own home, 57 percent own a house, 26 percent own a co-op and 17 percent own a condo. It’s also a conservative bunch: 71 percent have a fixed-rate mortgage, 19 percent a variable and 10 percent are debt-free. Lastly, more than 60 percent of renters plan to buy a place within the next two years (less than 4 percent plan on never owning). Anything surprising to you in those numbers?
Time for the Brownstoner Readership Survey [Brownstoner]
true dat brownstoner!
Feels like it’s 100,000 copy editors reading the site!
Furthermore it says “52 per cent of readers”, when it would be more correct to say “52 per cent of respondents”.
Also, I take exception to being called ‘conservative’ based on my mortgage alone. I’m liberal if not progressive, and I would guess that applies to other respondents as well.
So there.

OK, Brownstoner, you edited your blurb.
Interesting to see Carroll Gardens coming in at #3. Maybe more coverage of that part of the boro, along with Cobble Hill and Boerum Hill, would be a good idea? We don’t get much on those nabes and I for one would be happy to see more — and I don’t even live there!
It’s also geographically much bigger than, say, Fort Greene…
No surprise that Park Slope had the most respondents, given the sometimes caustic, condescending tone of the Forum.
Nope, Park Sloper. That’s uniques.
doesn’t the visitor counter tally ISP addresses- in which case wouldn’t that number be hits, rather than unique visitors?
