Last I ran the numbers (which was a couple years ago) the HN community was at least 50% outside the US.

But the assumption is that the US userbase is concentrated in the bay area. So its mostly people in or near SF and the like.

You're right that it's a common assumption! But that same analysis showed that only about 10% of HN users are physically near the Bay Area.

Is there a recent publish of that user base analysis for the public?
