Among adult Facebook users, the average (mean) number of friends is 338, and the median (midpoint) number of friends is 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.
