The Local Group Organizers Survey is now out here.
I will add that looking at the % of groups in each region somewhat understates Europe’s size as a proportion of the community. 50% (88/176) of groups are in Europe, but European groups account for somewhat higher percentages of individuals who engaged with an EA group (62.25%), new attendees (71.94%), and group members considered “highly engaged in the EA community” (56.56%). As such the amount of funding that we might expect to see going to Europe were things proportionate, might well be higher than 50%.
The 2018 EA Survey’s post on geographic differences also has some more detailed information than the early demographics post. I think this map from that post highlights the concentration of EAs in Europe and a small number of locations in the US quite well. In the 2019 EA Survey post on geography we’ll be repeating these analyses while also looking at different levels of engagement across regions.
