Today Facebook states that we have 170,400 Icelanders registered which equates to roughly 54% of the total population. After reading this post I decided to dig a bit deeper and create a similar graph for the Icelandic Facebook demography.

Icelanders on Facebook

No real surprises there, similar to the US except for the proportionally larger representation of 16-20 year olds.

The age distribution is similar to other countries but I expected a higher female proportion. Clickity click and numbers from theNational Registry shed some light. We have roughly 47% of the male population and 57% of the female population on Facebook

The numbers you get from Facebook are all rounded and rough estimates but still an interesting exercise. I published the Google Spreadsheet for those interested in taking this further.
