Ok, still waiting for my vaccinations, so I had some free time...
Based on 2019 US Census data (latest available), here is some interpolated data on the total possible SB pool in the US. I provide breakouts by age group (18 to 44) for total US, and the 4 largest & smallest states (by population) for your viewing pleasure. Please note that ALL data used includes ONLY data for women aged 18 and over. The top line "POT Wkly Add Rate" is calculated by taking one half of the 18-19-year old datum and dividing that by 52 weeks.

Interesting Findings:
1. There are almost 58 million women between 18 and 44 years old in the US, representing almost 35% of the total population. If only 2% of them joined SA, that would mean there are over 1 million POTs on the site.
2. In the largest state, CA, there are over 3 million between 18 and 29 years old.
3. In the smallest state, WY, there are over 46,000 women between 18 and 29 years old.
4. Even in WY, there are an estimated 68 new POT SB's who become eligible to join SA every WEEK! In CA, that estimate is 4,562, in TX, 3,346, FL, 2,478. This means that when you start to think your local area has run out of new POT Profiles, just wait a week!
Perhaps next week I will update my data for "profile breakout by age and ethnicity for in my local area' once more. If I do, I'll see if I can work in this data as well to create an estimate of the total population that is on SA. That could be rather interesting the next time you go can safely to a party or family gathering...
