<p>Observations:
9% Asian. Which is > 200% of average. But not <em>mostly</em> Asian</p>
<p>Upper Middle Class is overrepresented. but upper class is not. this is interesting since we can postulate that the upper class already has its advising resources that the upper middle class may lack, thus providing an impetus for more of the upper-middle class to surf CC.</p>

<p>you do realize this is one of those evil tracking cookie sites that i force my browser to manually block, right?</p>
<p>you can just look at those from public caltech computers though :)</p>
<p>(I'm kind of skeptical of the stats in some ways. But they're better than useless.)</p>
<p>(on another note, xanga isn't mostly asian, although it is overrepresented by asians).</p>

<p>no, it's not that i'm afraid to go on quantcast. heck, i can always remove the cookies later, and those are the sorts of bugs you tend to pick up no matter where you go on the internet. i'm just pointing out that you're using information collected via...dubious means.</p>
<p>yes that's a good point (which is why the results cannot be authoritative - however - they are still interesting). I doubt that ppl who block tracking cookies tend to overrepresent any particular demographic group though (although it's possible that the more educated are more likely to block them)</p>
<p>(and I think it's more useful when you compare between websites than when you compare wrt the population average). At least that tends to reduce certain types of bias</p>
<p>the analyses @ Quantcast</a> US Site Rankings for sites 1-100 are very interesting</p>

What's This?</p>
<p>Similar Audience
The similar audience list displays the other internet destinations that visitors to a particular site have a strong affinity for. The affinity score shows the strength of the affinity relative to the whole U.S. internet population. Affinities are purely statistical correlations and say nothing about why sites' audiences might be similar. The sites might have similar content, or one might drive traffic to the other, or there might be another reason for the overlap.</p>

EDIT: okay the one for caltech is screwed as it shows females outnumbering males for some reason =/ (maybe if the dorms are registered under a female name or something)</p>

<p>...Well, it's evil, but it's still kind of cool, I guess? :p</p>
<p>This one made me laugh.</p>
<p>"Caltech.edu is a top 5,000 site that reaches over 1.0 million U.S. monthly uniques. The site attracts a more educated audience.The typical visitor visits hubblesite.org, reads Science magazine, and attends Harvard."</p>
<p>How exactly were these demographics compiled? I HIGHLY doubt their accuracy. </p>
<p>I find it hard to believe that less than a quarter of the people here are under 24 and that african americans make up 15% vs Asians 9%.</p>
<p>Yeah, they are sort of hard to believe...</p>
<p>lol thanks for the criticisms. Yeah they make sense. haha. oh well. the site's funny.</p>
<p>I also posted it at Forum</a> Login and got into a massive flame war over it :p</p>
<p>...but yeah...now I agree that they're so misleading that they're worse than useless wrt the demographic statistics. </p>
<p>(there are still a few tidbits of useful info on there)</p>
