David Bourget and I have written an article based on the results of the PhilPapers Survey of professional philosophers: "What Do Philosophers Believe?". It includes details of the popularity of various views; correlations between views and age. gender, and geography and so on; a factor analysis that tries to isolate important underlying factors; and discussion of the results of the Metasurvey, bringing out just how surprising some of the survey results are. There are various goodies along the way that haven't been previously revealed. The article is forthcoming in Philosophical Studies. We'll be submitting the final version soon, but in the meantime all comments are welcome.
