I just asked Mike Nolan for the statistic about female chess players within the USCF. Here are the numbers:

12 and below, 5491 of 29,791 or 18.4%
13-15, 1121 of 9031 or 12.4%
16-19, 629 of 6771 or 9.3%
20-24, 129 of 2208 or 5.8%
25-64, 1085 of 28,932 or 3.8%
65+, 23 of 2172 or 1.1%

Overall: 8592 of 84,572 or 10.2%

Thanks Mike!
