SCA Census 2010

October, 2011

Greetings unto the Known World,

The Census Committee is proud to present the next releases of data from the SCA 2010 Census. The releases primarily focus on the questions around Peerage Options and Same Gender Consorts. There was a lot of data to analyze and we have aggregated the results in PowerPoint presentations with tables and charts, Excel spreadsheets, and Word documents of findings based on the data. These files can be downloaded below.

The Census Committee was very aware of the focus and importance of these particular questions and took every means possible to create a statistically accurate representation of the data. The data was reviewed and analyzed from many different angles. We would like to thank all of the individuals who took the time to express their opinions as well as the volunteers who took time from their busy lives to assist in processing and analyzing the data.

The Census Committee will continue to process the remaining Census data over the coming quarters in order to provide more detailed analyses and actionable insights and recommendations for society and kingdom officers, as well for as the general populace, relating to other topics measured by this survey. Data and findings will be released as they are finalized; please check back on this page.

If you have any questions or comments, requests or suggestions for special or specific analyses or future surveys, offers to help, or feedback about the SCA 2010 Census please send them to scacensus2010@sca.org.

Thank you,
Paul Haines (Alden Drake) and Daniel Fenwick (Daniel de Blare)
