And if your brand is on there, too, you\u2019re going to want to be in the know about the latest Twitter demographics (or X demographics, whatever!).<\/p>\n

After all, if you don\u2019t know your audience (or potential audience), you\u2019re in for an uphill battle. Understanding who is using Twitter<\/a> will help you tailor the perfect content, target niche audiences more effectively, and even determine whether it\u2019s a worthwhile avenue for reaching your Twitter target audience<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Read on for the Twitter audience demographics social media marketers need to build a better social media marketing strategy in 2024 \u2014 though, unfortunately, we don\u2019t have the stats yet to determine whether or not they care if you still call it Twitter.<\/p>\n

General Twitter user demographics<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are 225 million daily active users<\/a> on X (Twitter)<\/h3>\n

At the Code 2023 tech conference back in September, X CEO Linda Yaccarino reported the company has 225 million daily active users (DAU). While that number\u2019s impressive, it\u2019s still a dip of 25 million from the site\u2019s DAU count in November 2022.<\/p>\n

619 million people<\/a> use X (Twitter) each month<\/h3>\n

Twitter is actually fairly low on the list of most-popular social platforms, but this number is still nothing to sniff at. (We can\u2019t all be Facebook, OK?) When it comes to monthly active users, X is still prettttty popular.<\/p>\n

More than 600 million users worldwide log in to the platform each month \u2014 and sure, that\u2019s less than TikTok, but it\u2019s also more than Pinterest and QQ.<\/p>\n

There will be more than 500 million X (Twitter) users<\/a> by 2028<\/h3>\n

A forecast by Statista predicts that over the next four years, the number of users on X (Twitter) will grow by 17.32% \u2014 an increase of 74.3 million users, to a total of 503.42 million users in 2028.<\/p>\n

Twitter age demographics<\/span><\/h2>\n

Nearly 40% of X (Twitter) users are between 25 and 34 years old<\/a><\/h3>\n

38.5% of Twitter\u2019s audience is aged 25 to 34. When combined with the next oldest cohort of users, more than half of Twitter users are between 25 and 49 \u2014 millennials and Gen Xers have this app on lock.<\/p>\n

(This info is from 2021, but unfortunately, it\u2019s the most up-to-date info we have!)<\/p>\n

A quarter of X (Twitter) users<\/a> are under 25<\/h3>\n

Though it\u2019s no TikTok<\/a>, there\u2019s still some youth activity on X.<\/p>\n

Nearly 7% of X\u2019s global audience is between 13 and 17, and 17.1% are aged 18 to 24. That adds up to roughly 24% of X\u2019s global audience.<\/p>\n

Only 6% of U.S. adults 65 and older<\/a> use X (Twitter)<\/h3>\n

The average age of Twitter users still skews relatively low, though. Looks like this isn\u2019t the preferred social media platform of the Boomer crowd.<\/p>\n

X (Twitter) only has the attention of 6% of U.S. adults aged 65 and older, according to Pew Research.<\/p>\n

25% of 18 to 34-year-olds<\/a> have a favorable opinion of X (Twitter)<\/h3>\n

In fact, it seems like opinions of Twitter have an inverse relationship to age \u2014 younger people tend to have a favorable opinion and older people tend to have an unfavorable opinion.<\/p>\n

These feelings are clear in the Statista graph below. The light blue (\u201cvery favorable\u201d) chunk gets smaller as the age group increases, and the red (\u201cvery unfavorable\u201d) chunk gets larger as the age group increases.<\/p>\n

Since 2014-15, the number of teens who use Twitter has decreased<\/a>.<\/h3>\n

According to a PEW Research study, 33% of U.S. teens reported using Twitter in 2014-15, but only 23% reported using the platform in 2022.<\/p>\n

Teen interest in Facebook also decreased, while Instagram and Snapchat saw an increase (52% to 62% and 41% to 59%, respectively).<\/p>\n

Twitter location demographics<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are more users in the U.S.<\/a> than any other country<\/h3>\n

With 105.42 million users as of January 2024, the United States has the most active X (Twitter) accounts. It beats the second-most active country by a mile, with a 30 million user lead. (Canada, comparatively, only has 14.41 million users.)<\/p>\n

19% of U.S. citizens<\/a> aged 12 and up are using X (Twitter) at any given time<\/h3>\n

A study from Edison Research on Americans\u2019 media habits found that 19% of U.S. residents are \u201ccurrently ever using X.\u201d<\/p>\n

This may sound like a lot of people out there tweeting at any given time (or\u2026 X posting? Have we decided what we\u2019re calling it?), but this is actually a drop from the organization\u2019s 2023 study.<\/p>\n

Japan is the second most active country<\/a> on X (Twitter)<\/h3>\n

Japan follows behind the U.S., with 73.4 million X users as of January 2024. These two front runners have an incredible lead on the competition \u2014 India comes in at a distant third with just 26.8 million users.<\/p>\n

There are 9.88 million X (Twitter) users<\/a> in China<\/h3>\n

Though this number is small compared to the U.S. and Japan (and considering China\u2019s population size), it\u2019s quite impressive.<\/p>\n

The Chinese government has banned Twitter<\/a>, and yet nearly 10 million people have figured out a workaround. Now that\u2019s<\/em> brand loyalty.<\/p>\n

Western Europe, the Middle East and Africa are the biggest growth regions<\/a><\/h3>\n

While North American usage is declining slightly (Statista reported a -0.5% growth year over year in 2022), and Central and Eastern Europe are dropping out at a dramatic rate (a -7% change that same year), there are lots of growing regions.<\/p>\n

Western European users are forecasted to grow by 3.8%, while Middle East and Africa has a 3.2% growth rate.<\/p>\n

X (Twitter) users are more likely to live in urban or suburban areas<\/a><\/h3>\n

According to Pew Research, only 13% of U.S. adults using Twitter live in rural areas. Twenty-five percent live in urban cities, and 26% live in the \u2018burbs.<\/p>\n

In other words, X might not be the best platform to hawk your tractor brand.<\/p>\n

Twitter income demographics<\/span><\/h2>\n

29% of X (Twitter) users<\/a> earn more than $100K annually<\/h3>\n

A Pew Research poll found that 29% of U.S. adult Twitter users earn $100,000 or more each year. Meanwhile, only 18% of users earn less than $30,000.<\/p>\n
