The informal [[Gender Census]] survey, which asks respondents "How do you describe your gender?" (among other questions), has included a checkbox option for "agender" since its first year (2013).<ref>https://gendercensus.com/results/2013-worldwide/</ref> Of around 2,000 respondents in 2013, 22% selected the "agender" checkbox.<ref>https://www.gendercensus.com/results/2013-worldwide/</ref> In 2024, 11,254 respondents (23.1%) selected this checkbox.<ref>Gender Census 2024 Unprocessed Results.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EJXhTOLDdgsv8hQcBc9gStKV-BrInUdF8ZtuObp9x38/edit?gid=779426998#gid=779426998</ref>

A 2019 study investigated the types of microaggressions that agender and gender non-conforming people experience in romantic relationships, drawing upon responses from 200 self-identified gender non-conforming people and 190 agender people.<ref>Pulice-Farrow, L., McNary, S. B., & Galupo, M. P. (2019). ''“Bigender is just a Tumblr thing”: microaggressions in the romantic relationships of gender non-conforming and agender transgender individuals. Sexual and Relationship Therapy, 1–20.'' doi:10.1080/14681994.2018.1533245</ref> Confusingly, the survey defines "agender and gender non-conforming" in a way that includes all people who do not identify with a binary gender, and respondents to the original survey chose between four options (transfeminine, transmasculine, gender non-conforming, and agender). (The transfeminine and transmasculine responses were not analyzed.) This means that some people who selected "agender" may not describe themselves that way in other contexts.
A chapter of the 2022 ''Routledge Handbook of Digital Consumption'' examined how agender people develop and express agender identity on the Internet, arguing Internet spaces enable greater self-expression than offline spaces.<ref>Ketola, M., Selander, S., & Ruvio, A. (2022). "Identity expressions of agender individuals in a digital world". In Llamas, R., & Belk, R. (Eds.),The Routledge Handbook of Digital Consumption (2nd ed.). Routledge. <nowiki>https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003317524</nowiki></ref>
