3RD QUARTERLY RESULTS
JANUARY 1 - SEPTEMBER 30, 2023
JANUARY 1 - SEPTEMBER 30, 2023
INITIAL NOTES
At the time of this analysis, the survey was only available in English, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish, with 1,231 responses submitted in total. It is important to note that the project is not meant to be 100% representative of the entire fandom. The cumulative results taken from these 9 months are solely from those who were:
A) aware of the DEAR Census project, and
B) chose to participate in the survey.
The graphics below are summaries of results from three random survey questions. For viewing purposes, exact percentages were kept to a minimum to not confuse this data with the 2023 final results.
While there is no such thing as a perfect survey, we hope to continue improving and enhancing the DEAR Census project. Survey translations have since been added, but please let us know if you'd like to see the survey in any additional languages. We also sincerely thank Dears' enthusiasm in the sharing of this project!
The data is reflective of the first 1,231 responses from January 1 to September 30, 2023.
The continents numbered in the graphic above represent the top 5 continents in which survey participants currently are from.
This data does not accurately display the global distribution of Dears/survey participants. Historically Dimash has a larger presence in Central Asia, China, and Russia, and yet there are more responses from fans who live on the opposite side of the world! While there are many factors affecting this response outcome, we mainly attribute the current survey response behavior to the fact that the DEAR Census project is a new initiative within the fandom.
The data above represents the top 10 industries that Dears work in. This infographic does not include those who said they were currently unemployed, retired, or are students.
With such a diverse group of career fields, Dears can be found in almost every work niche -- they may even be your neighbor or co-worker.
We know that many Dears have found ways to take their real world skills/knowledge and implement them into daily fandom activities -- so thank you to those who do!
From the data above, over a quarter of all Dears who participated in the survey joined the fandom in 2019.
The percentage totals per year were added up across all four currently active surveys (English, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese).
