From her 1996 survey of British Wiccans, Pearson found that most Wiccans were aged between 25 and 45, with the average age being around 35.{{sfn|Pearson|2002b|p=142}} She noted that as the Wiccan community aged, so the proportion of older practitioners would increase.{{sfn|Pearson|2002b|p=142}} She found roughly equal proportions of men and women,{{sfn|Pearson|2002b|p=144}} and found that 62% were from Protestant backgrounds, which was consistent with the dominance of Protestantism in Britain at large.{{sfn|Pearson|2002b|pp=143–144}} Pearson's survey also found that half of British Wiccans featured had a university education and that they tended to work in "healing professions" like medicine or counselling, education, computing, and administration.{{sfn|Pearson|2002b|p=145}} She noted that there thus was "a certain homogeneity about the background" of British Wiccans.{{sfn|Pearson|2002b|p=145}}
