Hybrid owners (past and current) birth years?

[patsparks]

I'm trying to work out my future birth year.

I'm also wondering how many we will see in the 1995 to 1999 and the 2000 onward category

Unfortunately, this poll will mostly be about the ages of those of us with nothing better to do than hang around priuschat. I'm not sure it will even reflect prius owners that well.
BTW, for most of us our past birth year and current birth year are the same. Those who have been reincarnated may have a different view.

Another poll bump but the numbers look good.

">2000" ?!
Either you have high expectations of the "under ten" crowd or you expect this poll be be up for a long time.

My thoughts exactly.

The poll ends in a week so this is just a courtesy 'bump.' Once it closes, I'll use the USA census data to compare and we'll gain a clue about Prius ownership vs. USA population.

Thanks everyone, 114 samples, we're in good shape for a credible analysis.

There will always be 'outliers' so I'm not too terribly worried about non-census participants. In math, there are some problems best solved by adding an 'imaginary' part, solving the equations, and then taking out the 'imaginary' part. So for purposes of this survey, we'll treat any non-census participants as 'imaginary'. <grins>

Ok, if you're really interested in the accuracy of a voluntary, self-selected, Internet poll, I can put another up for non-USA census members to 'correct the record.' But I see that type of poll as having a lot of potential problems. To minimize confusion, I won't put it up until after this poll closes.

Now if your country population has evidence of a 'baby boom', I don't think we will need to 'correct the record.' The USA had a distinct 'baby boom' that changed our population profile. When I do the analysis, I'll post the USA census distribution as the reference and if your country population percentages are 'close enough', there is no need to back out your vote.
