Latest Facebook usage statistics by country - 31st Dec 2011 here
I have been publishing Facebook usage statistics by quarter for a while and now have enough data to be able to look at 12 month growth in Facebook users by country and 24 month growth in Facebook users by country. Total number of Facebook users has now passed 400m and Facebook is growing everywhere - maybe why Google is (allegedly) still looking closely at social networking and regarding Facebook with envious eyes?
The table below shows the top 30 countries by number of active Facebook users with July 2010 Facebook user information compared to 2009 and 2008 Facebook usage statistics (leave a comment if you want to know statistics for other countries.)
Here are the Top 30 countries with highest number of Facebook users (1st July 2010 - data from Facebook):

Thanks for your site! I've compared some of the statistics for users by age-group in Australia to the official Bureau of Statistics census data. You might be interested to know that a considerable number of FB users lie about their age!

Hi Nick, thanks for these; they're very interesting. Was hoping for your help with one clarification about this data. For a given country, is this the number of users who self-report their current city or country as being "in Lebanon" (or wherever), or is it based on where their IP address is registered? Or something else?
Thanks.
can give me the data's as like the table for Bangladesh..Please...
It would be nice to get this data in a downloadable format. I'd like to compare the usage to population. Looks like the US and Canada are approaching 50%. That's pretty amazing.
