The figures will vary from the very optimistic (10%) to the very pessimistic (less than 1%)!. But the generally accepted figure from a 2008 article is that approximately 3!.2% (7!.3 million) are vegetarian!. Of that number, approximately 0!.5% (1 million) are vegans!.

Other stats you might be interested in:
59 percent are female; 41 percent are male!.
42!.0 percent are age 18 to 34 years old; 40!.7 percent are 35 to 54; and 17!.4 percent are over 55!.
57!.1 percent have followed a vegetarian diet for more than 10 years; 18 percent for 5 to 10 years; 10!.8 percent for 2 to 5 years, 14!.1 percent for less than 2 years

over half (53 percent) of current vegetarians eat a vegetarian diet to improve their overall health!. Environmental concerns were cited by 47 percent ; 39 percent cited “ natural approaches to wellness” ; 31 percent cited food-safety concerns; 54 percent cited animal welfare; 25 percent cited weight loss; and 24 percent weight maintenance!.
