Some of the most popular locations
A few weeks ago I was talking to a very good friend of mine about STEEMIT and explained how it had captured the imagination of many across the globe.
My friend and his wife are avid travellers and have travelled all around the world over the last 30-40 years.
Now they are retired they spend anything up to 3 months per year out of the U.K.
One area that they have travelled to on many occasions is East Asia and it was this that triggered what I wanted to share with you today.
While I was explaining to my friend the mechanics and the concept of STEEMIT he made a bet with me that there would be a large portion of users from the Mid to East Asia regions.
He wasn't wrong.
Earlier I decided to lift the hood on the data and have a good rummage around.
This is what I found.
Extracting the locations from 33,980 records (8,738 locations) I wanted to look at the most popular locations.
A location was either: a Town, a City, an Area, or Country.
Out of these 33,980 records the following represent the Top 67 locations and covers 11,074 records.
On other words the Top 67 locations are represented from 8,738 locations extracted.
It may come as a surprise to some but the Top 10 in order is..... India, USA, Venezuela, UK, Canada, Germany, Philippines, Australia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Los Angeles, California, New York, London, Aceh, South Africa, Seoul, Florida, Korea.
Here is the alphabetical list....
Aceh (234), Amsterdam (108), Argentina (71), Australia (313), Banda (51), Bangladesh (83), Belgium (123), Berlin (61), Brazil (111), Bulgaria (51), Californian (279), Canada (423), Cape Town (51), Caracas (63), Chicago (58), Colombia (92), Colorado (66), dSwitzerlan (85), Florida (179), France (165), Germany (423), Hong Kong (113), Houston (55), India (838), Indonesia (313), Italy (112), Korea (170), Lagos (75), Las Vegas (105), Lhokseumaw (100), London (249), Los Angeles (280), Malaysia (90), Manchester (53), Melbourne (67), Minneapolis (50), Netherland (164), New Jersey (55), New York (259), New Zealand (81), Nigeria (289), Norway (55), Pakistan (294), Philippine (324), Poland (124), Portugal (81), Romania (123), San Diego (59), San Francisco (129), Scotland (51), Seattle (55), Seoul (215), Singapore (108), South Africa (222), South Korea (136), Spain (121), Sweden (125), Sydney (68), Texas (160), Thailand (76), The Netherlands (146), UK (489), USA (580), Vancouver (59), Venezuela (558), Washington (108)
I guess he was right, there are a lot from the Mid to East Asia regions.
Thanks for reading.

Awesome !!! Thank you, is the list only for cape town or the surrounding places as well in the Western Cape ?
It is strange I know there are many Chinese users.
Ahh. This maybe be because they have been typed in Chinese. Sadly I had to omit these from the search. I should have pointed this out. Thanks for raising it. Stephen
Maybe tags with cn are major in Chinese
Does steemit allowed in china?
I am from india by the way :-)
Hello to everyone in India. Stephen

I always like to read your blog, @stephenkendal, probably because I like statistics. By the way, my father is a mathematician and very passionate about statistics. I'm from Nigeria living in Belgrade, Serbia. It feels good to see Nigeria in the 11th position, according to your statistics. Let me quickly point out two things. The first is that Lagos is a city in Nigeria, so it might work better to add up the figures 75 (Lagos) +289 (Nigeria)=364. I am cork sure that there are some Nigerians who write West Africa in their profile. The second is that I know of Serbs from Serbia, the country I reside at the moment, who are in steemit. More often than not, they use the tag ''srpski''/ #srpski. It appears the Serbs are few in number, due to language barrier. Please, Stephen, I would really appreciate if you can help me with the names of Serbs, who are registered in steemit to help me plan a meet up. I am only familiar with @lighteye. Thanks for sharing with us.
@stephankendal how about doing some meetup in India? I can be a resourceful user if india meetup is planned
😊 good 😊
This is pretty cool
Thank you. Stephen
contenido muy interesante!
Gracias. Stephen
Wow that's really cool.. didn't realize there are so many steemians from India
I bet this will surprise a lot..!! Stephen
France is in :). Thanks for his statistics.
France is quite popular. Stephen
Interesting info. I'm a math fan and appreciate stats to use as gauges or guides. According to your post I should be focusing my content creation on topics that appeal to people for India. If the citizens of India start using the Steemit platform dominantly over other social media site, Steemit could gain in value exponentially faster then forecasted this time last year
Thank you. This tells you where the explosive growth has occurred and India will be the bell weather for this to explode in other Countries. Stephen
Let's see if the user demographic's influence the amount of views a post received that subtly incites national pride.

Yea population factor. Asia in general particularly india are one the most populated countries in the world.
A very useful list to have. Thank you Stephen.
You are very welcome. Stephen
africa should be more present in steemit
i guess i will make a big promotional campaign for that goal
Fixe. Onde estão os 80 portugueses?
Useful stats there Stephen.
Interesting to compare with the percentage of visitors figures from Alexa - USA top with 31.9%, India 4th with 4.7%.
steemit now at #3507 on the Alexa global site rankings.

Did your friend explain why his correct guess was that most steemians are from mid to east Asia regions? I am really curious.

STOPthank you brother i follow you .
I can't believe the rich diversity here on steemit.
So many people coming from different walks on life and I'm glad to see that the UK is one of the largest driving factors here in steemit.
Thank you for your analysis @stephenkendal
I wish malaysian steemit users will increase soon. This steemit.com is an incredible platform and a gift for the society. I think i should print and market this on a tshirt and give for free. Let them walk around with it.
Glad to see that Canada is doing alright! We are pretty much freedom loving people too... Some of us are pretty entrepreneurial and I love writing about the stuff I think about - so Steemit is wonderful!
Colorado made the list! Awesome!
Hi. I just ran Colorado again and it it came up with this.....
