Facebook USA usage statistics by state - July 2010 vs July 2009 vs July 2008

Earlier this week I looked at Facebook usage statistics by country and found that the USA is still the biggest country by Facebook usage - increasing by over 56 million active users in the last 12 months.

Using figures from the Facebook platform (which provides 'Estimated Reach' by country / state) I have evaluated growth in Facebook usage by state over the last 2 years.

- the largest US state for Facebook use is California with Facebook reporting 15.3 million users
- the fastest growing US state for Facebook usage in the last 12 months is District Of Colombia
- the fastest growing US state for Facebook use in the last 24 months is Nevada
