Where In The World Do Stack Overflow Users Come From?
Someone asked what the breakdown of Stack Overflow users is by country — on Stack Overflow. I didn’t think it was a particularly appropriate question, because it’s a poll, a meta-question, and not even really a poll about programming per se. Sort of a triple whammy.

Someone asked what the breakdown of Stack Overflow users is by country — on Stack Overflow. I didn’t think it was a particularly appropriate question, because it’s a poll, a meta-question, and not even really a poll about programming per se. Sort of a triple whammy.
But I’m happy to answer here on the blog, with a breakdown of Stack Overflow traffic by country, courtesy of Google Analytics, accounting for all traffic since our mid-September 2008 launch:
United States | 36.3% |
United Kingdom | 8.5% |
India | 7% |
Canada | 5.1% |
Germany | 3.7% |
Australia | 3.0% |
Netherlands | 2.1% |
France | 1.9% |
Sweden | 1.8% |
Italy | 1.6% |
There’s definitely a long tail to this graph, if you consider that the top 10 countries only make up 71% of the total.
