Among adult Facebook users, the average (mean) number of friends is 338, and the median (midpoint) number of friends is 200. In other words, half of all Facebook users have more than 200 friends, and half have less than 200. Younger users tend to have significantly larger friend networks than older users: 27% of 18-29 year old Facebook users have more than 500 friends in their network, while 72% of users age 65+ have 100 friends or fewer.
This sliver of Facebook users slumped from 45.4 million then to 42.0 million now. Heck, there are now more 25-to-34 year-old active Facebook users â¦ a group that stands 44 million strong. Even more amazing is how the biggest active Facebook demographic active is the 35-to-54 crowd, with 56 million members.
