Why suspect when there are facts to be had!

Check with a BRC themecamp who gathers surveys from thousands of participants each year at Burning Man..... 'the ministry of statistics' [http://www.blueberryjoe.com/statistics/]

To answer the age question: [avg age= 33 range= new borns to 68] http://www.ministryofstatistics.org/2003/05%20-%20Date%20of%20Birth%20(Scatter%20Plot).jpg

I think there are demographics somewhere on burningman.com From 2002 and 2003 I'd say 15% under 20 yo 25% 20-30 YO 30% 30-40 and 30% 40 and up.

The age spectrum at Burning Man is pretty broad. There is a large segment of the popultation in the mid 40's to mid 50's.

I suspect there are more people over 30 at the event than under 30.
