A new project George Washington University’s Program on Extremism offers a by-the-numbers breakdown of the attempted insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6. A few current stats:
117: Current number of federal cases against participants.
41 years old: Average age of charged participants.
30-39 years old: Age of the highest number of charged participants.
102: Cases against men.
15: Cases against women.
8: Number of Virginia residents who have been charged.
5: Number of Maryland residents who have been charged.
1: Number of DC residents who have been charged.
The highest number of cases were brought against residents of Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, and New York. A full list of cases, both federal and non-federal, are included on the project’s webpage, which will be updated with any new information.
