36% 65 or older (28 in 2016)
27% 45-64 (36 in 2016)
17% 30-44 (19 in 2016)
20% 17-29 (18 in 2016)

17-29 was slightly higher than 2016. I haven't seen updated numbers.

Source was MSNBC: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1287&pid=469754

The predicted turnout was 8%. I haven't seen official numbers on actual, though a couple reports said it was close to or slightly lower than predicted and similar to 2016, so 8% is probably in the ballpark.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Caucus is young, white, rural. It being between Buttigeig and Sanders is no surprise. krissey Feb 2020 #5

Thought I saw 8% turnout mentioned somewhere. And unusually high percentage of youngest voters. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #9

Well, 10% was the first and only I saw then. That was a while ago. It can be more refined to 8%. krissey Feb 2020 #10
