What this asian american influencers ranking actually shows

Hyperlocal recs and event coverage. Regional lists are how you avoid paying New York prices for a Dallas launch. On this specific list the median account has been posting since around 2015 (average age ~8.9 years; oldest 2011, newest 2024) with roughly 4,241 posts — enough history that you can actually audit a grid before you brief.

Primary language on the roster is English (78%). A meaningful secondary slice is Spanish (4.2%) — write the caption language into the brief if you care about comment quality.

Where gender is labelled, the split is 62 female / 12 male (44 unlabelled). Use that as a casting hint, not a quota.
