A little while ago I asked whether or not the USA had an unusually low representation in AH compared to other English speaking** countries.
There were several pages of replies, as expected, all over the place, so to get a tiny bit of clarity on the question, I counted the language stats of 93 people known to me to frequent AH. So the sample is very small and obviously biased towards people who would catch my attention. For example, there are no people in my sample who only visit the game threads.
Since I was bothering to look at bios, I also collected stats on gender.
USA - 26
UK - 9
Australia - 4
Canada - 4
NZ - 1
Not USA - 2
Unknown - 40
Non-English speaking country - 7
So to answer my initial question, when looking at known people from English speaking countries, the US members are 59%. Pretty close to what one would expect from a site that draws on the populations of many, mostly western, countries. I conclude that my sense for an unusually small proportion of Americans stems from my not having been part of a group that easily extends to many countries. The only other web board I frequent is oriented to American politics.
And for what it's worth, here are the gender stats (I put trans people in their chosen sex).
M - 57
F - 26
Unknown - 10
** This time I'll be clear that by "English speaking" I mean countries which have historically spoken English. My apologies to those who wanted to see the billions(?) of English speakers in places like India, Pakistan and Nigeria represented. It was just beyond me. Besides that, my tiny sample of AH members didn't have any of those people who were identifiable.
And for those who think I'm being chauvinistic because I assume that the "usual" case would be more Americans than others, not so. It's a statistic. The American population is 70% of the total population from English speaking countries (as defined above.)
