Hi Chat! The first thing that comes to mind is looking at reports and surveys reviewing the overall (national/global) phenomena of indie workers/remote working/coworking. Then you can attempt to extrapolate for your area - not perfect science!
I haven't been keeping up lately, but know I have come across reports like this that had a lot of detail and good data... The Centre for Social Innovation in Canada shares a TON of info about their experiences, but not sure if it has population data...Freelancers Union in NYC may have resources that are valuable. best wishes!
