AYP Survey Insights
Marital Status Analysis
This analysis examines the distribution of marital statuses among survey respondents. Only responses with a status of "Married" or "Single" are included.
Age & Marital Status Distribution
This chart shows the number of Married and Single respondents by age.
How to Interpret the Chart
Each bar represents a specific age and its height shows the number of respondents at that age. The bars are color-coded to distinguish between married and single respondents. Taller bars mean more people at that age. Compare the bars side by side to see which age groups have more married or single individuals.
Key Insights
Age Distribution Pattern: The data shows a significant concentration of respondents between ages 24-35, representing the core demographic of Adventist Young Professionals.
Single Population Peak: There is a notable peak of single respondents around ages 27-29, indicating this as a key demographic group within the young professional community.
Marriage Transition Point: Around age 32-33, there's an observable transition where the proportion of married respondents begins to increase relative to single respondents.
Ministry Implications: This demographic distribution suggests the need for balanced programming that caters to both single professionals in their late 20s and married professionals in their early-to-mid 30s.
Age-Specific Trends: The data reveals distinct patterns across different age groups, which can help inform targeted ministry approaches and program planning for specific age-based needs.
Membership Years & Marital Status
This chart shows the number of Married and Single respondents grouped by membership years.
How to Interpret the Chart
Each bar represents a specific number of membership years and its height indicates the number of respondents with that membership duration. The bars are color-coded to distinguish between married and single respondents. Taller bars mean more people have that duration of membership. This helps you understand how long respondents have been members relative to their marital status.
Key Insights
Early Membership Peak: There's a notable peak around 15-16 years of membership, particularly among single respondents, suggesting many joined the church during their childhood or early teens.
Membership Distribution: The data shows a wide range of membership durations from new members (0-5 years) to long-term members (30+ years), indicating diverse spiritual journeys within the young professional community.
Marital Status Patterns: Longer membership years (20+ years) show a more balanced distribution between married and single status, while newer members tend to have a higher proportion of singles.
Retention Insights: The presence of members with 25+ years of membership suggests strong retention of those who joined in childhood, while the consistent numbers in the 5-10 year range indicate ongoing adult conversions and membership growth.
Ministry Implications: This distribution highlights the need for programs that address both newer members who may need foundational support and long-term members who seek deeper spiritual growth, regardless of marital status.
