Far-right US extremists skew older, male, less educated, and militarily experienced.

Evidence

As the data show, the most consistent thread across all groups is the percentage of radicalized individuals in each group who come from a low socioeconomic status (~22 percent mean). On average, far-right extremists are in their late 30s at the time of (known) radicalization, they are overwhelmingly male, about three-fourths do not have a college education, and about a quarter have a violent criminal background. A greater percentage of far-right extremists have a military background (29.2 percent) than individuals in the other groups. — Ryan Andrew Brown, Todd C. Helmus, Rajeev Ramchand, Alina I.
