Great stats, thanks for sharing! Cheers Ted.
Hi
Just collecting some figures for a presentation. Your graph shows that there are about 5.3 million Facebook users between 13 and 19.
I’ve just used the tool on the Office for National Statistics to check the population for 13 to 19 year olds which is 5,365,100. So, are you saying that around 100% of 13 to 19 year olds have Facebook accounts. Can you please verify?
Thanks
Laurence
Hi Laurence,
Thanks for your comment. Although it may seem strange that 100% of of 13 to 19 year olds are using Facebook there is a reason for this. Facebook accounts can only be opened and used by 13+ year olds. This means that anybody under the age of 13 must set their minimum age as that to create an account.
I suspect that a good percentage of the 5.3 million are actually under 13 years old. In addition, Facebook is hugely popular with this demographic too which when combined with the >13 year olds makes for a large volume of users.
