ANALYSIS OF HOW PRO SE STATUS VARIES BY AGE

73.29%
Meaning: In Florida, 73% of pro se civil rights litigants are 40-&-older (DOAH)
Context: only 51% of Florida's population is 40-&-older (edr.state.fl.us)
Takeaway: rules which treat pro se litigants differently will disproportionately impact people who are 40-&-older

Notes
- "All" signifies every civil rights litigant who identified his/her age (sum of Table A's "Total" column)
- Data Source: public records from DOAH's civil rights cases (see raw data)
- Primary Analysis: a disproportionately large percentage of pro se litigants are 40-&-older (73% = 601/820).
- Secondary Analysis: people 40-&-older seek relief [from civil rights abuses] more often than people under 40.
Therefore, they represent a high amount of pro se civil rights litigants.
