I don't know and I hope someone (isn't irresistable_loz our resident statistician?) can give you an answer but if this turns into a discussion about age, it's getting merged here:

I have no idea about the overall average, but for a quick little thing, I took the ages of The Fashion Spot Top 20 Of 2006 (as of TODAY only), added them together and got these results. Here are the top 20 and their ages.

Caroline Trentini - 19
Cintia Sicker - 20
Daria Werbowy - 23
Doutzen Kroes - 21
Elise Crombez - 24
Eugenia Volodina - 22
Gemma Ward - 19
Gisele Bundchen - 26
Hana Soukupova -21
Heather Marks - 18
Jeisa Chiminazzo - 21
Jessica Stam - 20
Julia Stegner - 22
Kate Moss - 32
Natalia Vodianova - 24
Natasha Poly - 21
Sasha Pivovarova - 20
Snejana Onopka - 20
Tiiu Kuik - 19
Vlada Roslyakova - 19

The low is Heather Marks at 18 and the high is Kate Moss at 32. Altogether, the average is: 21.55, or around 22. I know that doesn't help, but it gives you an idea of how old the average top model is

interseting... i guess it's true what they say that top models have to start really early. theres all this media surrounding 15 year olds and younger starting modelling, but looking at the top models of the world, most of them are well over!

Cintia Sicker - 20

Was that on purpose?

MDC top 20 average (it's 27 girls because of ties 21.44

Of course if you look at 20 hottest runway and editorial right now, the age would be bit lower. Because then some like Tanya, Anna Mariya etc would be be instead of some oldies.

^ Haha, oops! I actually like Cintia. And yup, as for the TOP girls, they're around 22, older than most of the "hot" newer models, a la Chanel Iman, Tania D, etc. I'm bored, so I think I might tally up the average for tFS Top 100
