Gender and Age Demographics on Twitter
Gender distribution on Twitter
Gender information is not directly available on Twitter user profiles. The gender classifier used in this study determines gender by analyzing Twitter usernames, profile pictures, and other parameters. Gender was successfully identified for approximately 66% of the 36 million Twitter users analyzed. The results indicate a slight gender imbalance on Twitter, with female users outnumbering male users by 6%, as illustrated in the chart below.
Age distribution of Twitter users
Age groups are determined using publicly disclosed information from bios and tweets. Since teenagers are more likely to share their age on social networks compared to older users, the data tends to skew towards a younger demographic. According to the breakdown, a significant 74% of Twitter users fall between the ages of 15 and 25. Conversely, only 6% of users are aged 46 and older, highlighting the platform's predominantly young audience.
