Image of the Facebook Dataset
Here is a small data set that shows the percentage of Facebook members by age and gender. At a glance, I am a bit surprised by the numbers at the lower or older end of the list. They aren’t high, relatively, but higher than I might expect.
This data comes from Facebook.com ad platform. Percentages include those Facebook members who include a gender in their profiles. The data was collected in May of 2011.
