Cx3: If Facebook was a country - stats

In the week that Facebook is hitting the 500 million users milestone, let's take a look at some Facebook statistics.

To put this 500 million users figure into some context. If Facebook was a country, its population would be the third largest in the world - behind China and India, and ahead of the United States in fourth place.

Currently, the country with the fastest growing Facebook population is China with a 47.02% growth rate. In fact, Asia dominates most of the top ten fastest growing Facebook populations.


Specifically in the United Kingdom, there is around 27,000,000 Facebook users (the greatest number outside of the USA) with a propensity of users in the 18 to 24 and 25 to 34 age range - click on the charts to the right for gender/age demographics for Facebook in the UK.
