Looking just at active players since 1/1/2004, there were 46,256 youth or
scholastic members with a published rating and an average rating of 694.
In that same time frame, there were 16,350 active adult members with an
average rating of 1523.
However, if I look at players who were active in 2003, 10781 of the
adult players are still USCF members and 17226 of the youth/scholastic
members are still USCF members.
And if I look at players who were active in 2002, 10046 of the adult
players are still USCF members and 11885 of the youth/scholastic members
are still USCF members.
Therefore, I would suggest that while the youth/scholastic players are
a larger numerical group, adults are more likely to remain active as
chess players.
