Also as the knowledge base of questions for a tag grows, room for new questions become fewer. Duplicates will be asked but I wonder how many times a person has a problem, does a search, finds an answer and never has to ask their own question on the topic.

Unfortunately breakdown for the close votes is not available like for the flagged answers. But my experience with the review queue is that 1 in every 4-5 votes is due to a duplicate.
Considering there are 58.1k close votes to review at the moment... that's loads of dupes.
