This page will ideally include information on the estimated numbers of nonbinary people worldwide as well as in specific regions.
Worldwide
More information needed.
In the 2020 Gender Census, there were 24,576 respondents.[1] However this is a limited set (e.g. mainly English-speaking people who use Tumblr and/or Twitter) and thus does not represent a full global count of people who identify outside the gender binary.
Australia
On the 2016 Australian Census, for the first time people could identify themselves as "male", "female", or "other". 1300 people selected "other".[2]
United Kingdom
According to a 2014 blog post by activist Nat Titman, "at least 0.4% of the UK population defines as nonbinary when given a 3-way choice in terms of female, male or another description", but the count will be higher depending on variations in question phrasing.[3]
USA
A large-scale survey of "transgender, trans, genderqueer, and non-binary" people was conducted in 2015: the United States Trans Survey (USTS). In total there were 27,715 respondents, 35% of whom (9,769 people) "indicated that their gender identity was best described as nonbinary or genderqueer." However, a greater number (13,353 people or 48%) answered "Yes" to the question "Do you identify as more than one gender or as no gender?"[4]
Extrapolated from the 2015 USTS, it was estimated that there could be over 450,000 nonbinary individuals in the United States of America[5], although totally accurate numbers are difficult to ascertain.[6]
