Awesome write up. Great that you mentioned this site.
Not sure about the single young demographic being the main one mentioned as minimalists. Maybe they market themselves better? My husband and I live in a 580 squ ft studio apartment and share one vehicle. Even our small space has empty shelves and walls. We're in our 50s.
But we don't blog or write books about it. No marketing so no public knowledge of our demographic perhaps?
You did well there, UL. Thanks for posting the link!

First, thankfully they used the right picture, she is a lot cuter then you. (looked more early 20's to me then what they said her age was)
I do think there are a lot of reasons why we see more young and older (not a lot of stuff starting out, low money, and older wanting to get rid of stuff and low money) minimalists. In between, with/when having kids, one tends to accumulate, in part because of the kids. (Jake, do you own a thermometer?)
However, now, with social media so prevalent, I expect it is easier to find like minded people, IF you don't minimalize the digital aspect of your life. (less apt to connect without computer/smart phone, etc) That and you might not find it worth your time to try to seek out the fewer of your kind, rather then seek out the experiences you want to enjoy, instead. (all about choices and having the money to do more of them)
