The Black Rock City Census does a random sample of the main gate, the burner bus, and the burner air shuttle. That has basic demographics. Then they do a later online survey with more questions. They use statistics to weight the online survey which is not random to create an objective view.

Virgins are down a little, the ~60/40 M/F ratio continues, income >$100K continues its upward trend.

About 1/3 of burners are from California, almost 80% from the US, 2.3% from Canada - down from a peak of 7% sometime back, 37% attended one or more regionals, 21% donated to Burning Man, about 20% have an eBike.
