USA Triathlete Demographics

While I was looking to find out what age group I belonged in, I ran across some really interesting information. The page I stumbled upon, was from the USA Triathlon organization's website.

It broke down the demographics of their members, and I found it really interesting.

For example, the average of the USA Triathlete... is 38. 38!! 59.6% are males, and 39.5% are female. Since 2000 female USAT membership has grown from 27% of the total of the annual members to over 38% at the end of 2008.

63% of USAT members are married; and 44% have children living at home. Only 5% are widowed, divorced or separated.

The average income is an astounding $126,000. 50% of all USAT members are making between $75k - %199k annually.

These stats really are amazing, and I cannot help but consider how being physically fit improves your job status. It is a well known fact that someone who is overweight is usually paid up to 10% less than a person in average physical condition, so this is not a huge surprise to me; but the actual amount is amazing to me.
