Opinion: What is the Church of England like?

A Church Times article pointed to a YouGov page called 'profiler'. You can type in a label - "Church of England" perhaps, and the likes and characteristics of those who 'like' that label are compared to the general population.

So I looked at 'Church of England'  (1187 people), 'Church of Scotland' (139 people)  and 'Roman Catholic' (104 people). Methodist and Baptist don't appear on the list.

Politically CofE people were a little to the right of centre, CofS people a fraction to the left of centre, whereas the RCs were very strongly to the right. Readers of the Church Times, however, were significantly further to the right than Church of England members in general

For both RCs and the  CofE the North East was the third most significant region. (Curiously London, for the CofE, was significantly below the level that might be expected.)

Gender: all three churches have more than average men and fewer women. All had more in social classes ABC1 Age: all had fewer young people than expected but this was very strongly pronounced in the CofE.

Members' occupations were quite varied though The Church of Scotland had a significantly high number of members in the military, Roman Catholics had a strong showing in mining and quarrying, and the CofE in Civil Society and Charity.

And it's the Church of Scotland members who are the most comfortable financially - noticeably above the other two.

Lifestyle preferences vary considerably, as might be expected given the range of things to choose from. Unsurprisingly 'religion and  Spirituality' figure at the top of general interests for all three groups.

There was one further very significant difference between RCs and CofE on the one hand and CofS on the other in the  area of media. Whereas members of the first two churches spend 11-15 hours a week online, for CofS respondents it was 46-50 hours. And although RCs watch more television that the CofE, neither comes near the 50+ hours of the Church of Scotland.

Of course, what you make of all this is another questions altogether.  And in some areas numbers must have been quite small which makes any conclusion unreliable.

But: the favourite food of Church of England participants was liver and onions, jam tarts were favourite for Roman Catholics, and Church of Scotland participants went for Lorne sausage (by a long way). Church Times readers preferred faggots (links for US readers). Explain that.
