What is the percentage or number of senior members at each grade? Example what percentage or number of senior members hold the grade of Lt Col?
The numbers aren't published, so you'd have to go to NHQ and ask there.

In 2014, the numbers were published. Unfortunately, for the life of me I cannot find the original source document:
QuoteSM: 15%
2d Lt: 16%
1st Lt: 17%
Capt: 22%
Maj: 15%
Lt Col: 13%
I remember that statistic. It was published when the change in the regulation was made that was intended - among other things - to slow down the progression of so many folks into higher grades. Although it's kinda soon, I wonder if today's numbers are much different?
Part of me thinks that it's not as many people rushed to get their Majors or Lt. Colonels before the Grandfathering expired last August and they would not have fallen off the rolls yet. Maybe a slight flattening of "curve" would be seen with less Captains since those numbers?
Anyway, that's all idle speculation... >:D
I can run a number for my wing, but not beyond that.
Msgt: 1
SSgt: 4
SM: 75
2nd Lt: 112
1st Lt: 87
Capt: 80
Maj: 81
Lt Col: 87
Col: 3
Interesting that from 1st Lt -> Lt Col is very close to the same count.
