Ask HN: Where Are HackerNews Readers Based?

11 points·iSimone··26 comments

I think I've read a while ago that HN hit 90'000 uniques a day (is that still acurate?) but where do these people come from? Is there some sort of reliable public knowledge about HN's popularity based on regions? I can tell that in Berlin for example people are reading HN, but I'm guessing that the HN US is far ahead in popularity. What about Israel, Eastern Europe, the UK, Australia, maybe even China?

USA, Colorado, Denver metro area.

Denver as well. Where specifically? I work in Lone Tree but live in Littleton near Waterton Canyon.

USA, Colorado, Loveland!

Vancouver, Canada. A playground for the rich, like Whistler or Aspen.

Currently in Nepal but only for a few months then back to the US

Would be cool for HN to publish a graph or table.

Yes @sixtofour that is what I am secretly hoping for. Being part of this community makes you wonder who's with you (voice or no voice). Again, I have searched for stats on this and since I couldn't find any I posted this question.
