We all know that every social media activity needs to be analyzed. Why? Well, if you want to achieve success with your social media strategy or release your advertising campaign, you should understand what you do, why you do and what will happen if you continue doing this.
In the last few days we can hear a phrase like “Instagram demographics is very important”. And, you know, it`s true. Before writing this article, we`ve made a complete analysis and gathered all important information about Instagram demographics and what it means for a regular user. Get ready, because here you will read a lot of new and interesting information.
Age demographics
We know that the number of Instagram users are getting closer to Facebook (2.2 billion), and that are good news for the developers. However, we should understand that it`s impossible to work with everyone because all people have different interests.
The first thing that you should pay attention to is an age. Here we have the age-demographic breakdown:
- Ages 13-17:57 million
- Ages 18-24: 270 million
- Ages 25-34: 270 million
- Ages 35-44: 131 million
- Ages 45-54: 68 million
- Ages 55-64: 30 million
- Ages 65+: 18,3 million
According to this list, we can say that it`s not so hard to find your clients using Instagram age demographics. It becomes very important if you have a specific brand ground under a specific age category. You should also know that users from 18 to 29 years old are the most active (71 percent of them is checking their news feed at least twice per day).
Instagram gender demographics
According to Pew Research report, women are using Instagram more than men. Interesting, right? And how about the fact that 50.3 percent of all active users are female, while only 49.7 are male. To have a better understanding of the situation, we will just say that six of the top 10 most-followed Instagram accounts are owned by women:
- Cristiano Ronaldo
- Ariana Grande
- Selena Gomez
- Beyoncé
- Kim Kardashian
- Kylie Jenner
- Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
- Taylor Swift
- Justin Bieber
Instagram racial and ethnic demographics
Again, we are coming to the information from Pew Study. They say that black Americans are using Instagram the most. In the USA, 43 percent of black respondents said they are using Instagram. That`s compared to 38 percent of Hispanic respondents and 32 percent of white respondents.
Instagram is not asking their future users about their race, so it`s just a part of unnecessary information.
Instagram geographical demographics
As you probably understand, United States are leading in the top with 120 million users there.
42 percent of urban responders are using Instagram. At this time, 34 percent of suburban residents are using this platform. And, finally, only 25 percent of those who are living in rural areas are using Instagram.
Some huge brands are publishing this statistic to have a better understanding of the number of potential clients all over the world.
Instagram income demographics
Instagram users run the income gamut, from hourly retail employees to Fortune 100 CEOs to trust-fund babies.
A survey of U.S. residents` social media habits by U.K.-based communications consultancy We are Flint broke down Instagram use by several demographic indicators, including household income. For example, people, from people who have less than $30k of regular income 44% are using Instagram.
Instagram education demographics
Just 29 percent of all people who have a high school degree or less say that they use Instagram.
If we are talking about college education, 36 percent of all students use Instagram, while 42 percent of those who already have college degree are regular Instagram users.
