Earlier this week I brought you demographic reports based off of Facebook data for Marvel, and DC. Up next is independent/small press comics! Basically, everyone not the “big two.”

For this report I looked at comic book publisher likes that are not the big two or part of the big two. For this report, Vertigo, Zuda, Icon, are not included though they share similar comics as to other in this report. For this report, terms like IDW Publishing, BOOM! Studios, Fantagraphics were included. Manga was left out of this as well. In 2014 49 terms were used to generate these stats. In 2015 that number has remained the same.

Facebook Population: Over 4,400,000 in the United States

The indie/small press population has grown since last year by about 1.2 million individuals. That’s the same amount it grew in the previous year.

In 2014 Spanish speakers accounted for 12.50%. In 2015, that percentage dipped a bit, and is also 12.5%.

Gender and Age

In 2014 men accounted for 57.50% of the population and women 40.63%. A year later, that has shifted a bit with men now accounting for 59.09% and women 40.91%.

Here’s the stats for gender.

This is how gender changes as far as percent over age.

And the raw data. Unlike Marvel and DC, Indie/Small press has lost young women as far as percentage of the population.

Relationship Status

A lot more people are engaged, compared to last year. Congrats everyone!

And for those that like pie charts.

Education

There’s so slight shifts since last year.

Gender Interest

These stats are similar to last year, unlike Marvel and DC which saw the percentage of those interested in the same sex decrease.

Ethnicity

For the first time we have these stats, so they’re presented here without comment.

Generation

For the first time we have these stats, so they’re presented here without comment.

Join us tomorrow when we look at comicdom as a whole!
