The number of furries seems dwarfed by the number of bronies; most estimates seem to suggest at least ten times as many bronies as furries. Compare attendance at the largest furcons and the largest bronycons (it doesn't match the 10x number for a number of reasons, but it suggests the direction).
Okay, we have the largest creative sites being tilted around 4:1 in favor of furries, and the largest cons' latest attendances being 2:1 in favor of bronies; does LW's furry-to-brony ratio fall within that range, or outside it?
So, the ratio might have problems when people fall in both groups; looking at the Brony Herd Census it looks like 17% of respondents were furries, which makes the 10 to 1 estimate calculated other ways seem less likely. (I think most of the estimates I saw for furries predated MLP growing, and it seems likely that the communities grow off each other.)
