Yeaaah, that's a lot of people. Let's break it down some more

HackerNoon Readers

  • ⅓ of our readership comes from the United States and Canada.
  • Another ⅓ comes from the northern and western parts of Europe - primarily the United Kingdom.

Wow, we are on a roll! Can't hurt to provide one last set of stats.

As of 2019, this is what your average Hacker looked like:

76.9% male

According to Google Analytics, these self-evident "technophiles" and "hobbyists" typically travel for business. They tend to enjoy movies and media, sports and fitness, and "do-it-yourself" projects. Let's get that number closer to at least 50% now, ladies!

48.9% of the readers are between the ages of 25 and 34

With the runner-ups being between 35 to 44 years young at 21.1%. English speakers who use Chrome, IE, Safari, or Firefox, with 78.24% on desktop PCs, make up most of these individuals.

The majority of HackerNoon readers are in the United States

Followed by India, Canada, the UK, and Australia.
