Most Number of Facebook Users

I was tempted to produce a map showing Facebook users in the United States by States after seeing someone posted a map of the world in terms of Twitter users. Here are my results based on the Facebook Usage Statistics for August 31, 2010.

California leads the number of users with 16,673,720, followed by Texas with 10,685,000. It is expected to see the most populated States to have the most number of Facebook users.

However, when you plot the percent of FB penetration per State (no. of FB users/no. of State population), you get a different story. Washington is first with 58%, followed by Illinois with 55%, and Rhode Island is third with 53%. These three States are the only ones that have more than 50% Facebook penetration. Texas has only 43%, while California has 45%.

Percent Facebook Penetration Per State

When will Facebook completely dominate the United States? It will be sooner than later.
