==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.<ref name="Titman2014">{{Cite web |title=How many people in the United Kingdom are nonbinary? |author=Titman, Nat |authorlink=Nat Titman |work=Practical Androgyny |date=16 December 2014 |access-date=23 October 2020 |url= https://practicalandrogyny.com/2014/12/16/how-many-people-in-the-uk-are-nonbinary/}}</ref>

==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 [[multigender|more than one gender]] or as [[agender|no gender]]?"<ref name="2015USTS-AppA">{{Cite web |title=2015 U.S. Transgender Survey Complete Report |date= |access-date=23 October 2020 |url= https://transequality.org/sites/default/files/docs/usts/USTS-Full-Report-Dec17.pdf|at=Appendix A}}</ref> This echoes Titman's finding above, that question phrasing will affect the reported number of nonbinary/genderqueer people.
