From Inside Facebook come the following charts looking at the latest demographics for the social network. The over 35s in the US now account for 36% of all users with over 45s making up 17%. Meanwhile usage levels by the over 55s has reached "all time highs", in particular women 55+, who now number 2.5 million users.
And younger users? Use by 18-25 year olds went down 3% in the last month. Whether that's simply due to the summer break, or whether that's a tentative sign of younger users starting to tire of the service, this research is yet another stat to file away for when someone tells you that 'it's not for us, it's all about kids' (which even in 2009, I still hear!).
