Who is subscribing to the National Review? A bunch of rich old White men over half of whom are in the seventies and tend to live inside the Beltway. Out of touch? Male – 81.4% Median Age – 66 years old Ages 15-54 – 18% of subscribers Household Net Worth over $1 million dollars – 34.4% Household Net Worth over $250,000 – 78.6% Probably a quarter of National Review subscribers are senile.
