Some days ago @cryptoriddler released a diagram render of how the [reputation ranks are spread](https://steemit.com/steemit/@cryptoriddler/distribution-of-reputation-levels-2017-12-27-verteilung-der-reputationslevel-27-12-2017) among all Steem accounts. At the time of publication there were more than 530,000 Steem accounts (according to steempunks.com we are growing at an average of ~2,400 new accounts created/day in the last 30 days). As noted by @cryptoriddler, more than 80% of all accounts have a reputation of 25, the starting reputation for each new account. The image/render makes for some interesting reading. * There are 16 different negative reputation levels on the platform right now, totaling less than 500 accounts * Only 10 steem accounts have a negative reputation in the double digits (-10 or below) * -18 is the lowest reputation on the platform right now (@berniesanders) * 78 is the highest reputation (@steemsports) * Less than 10 Steem accounts have a reputation higher than 75 * Only 17 Steemians have reputation 75 or higher * The top 8 reputation levels have less than 50 accounts each * Less than 200 accounts have reputation 70 or higher (196) * The top 10 reputation levels (69-78) have less than 100 accounts each * 64 is the highest reputation level with more than 200 members ![38314079-2595-4A90-810C-6F187924012A.jpeg](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1514891805/xzgkt0i5v0f0clstckr8.jpg) Image crop of [cryptoriddler’s original render](https://steemit.com/steemit/@cryptoriddler/distribution-of-reputation-levels-2017-12-27-verteilung-der-reputationslevel-27-12-2017) * Only 30 reputation levels harbor more than 1,000 accounts each (26-55 - excluding reputation 25) * No reputation level in the top 1% has more than 1,000 accounts * Only 4 reputation levels have more than 5,000 accounts (26, 27, 28, 30 - excluding reputation 25) * Only 1 reputation level is larger than 1% of the total accounts base (27 - excluding reputation 25) * Only one reputation level below the starting level of reputation 25 has more than 500 accounts (17) * Three reputation levels harbor more accounts than the directly lower reputation level (27, 53, 72) * The 1% of Steemians by reputation starts in the higher bracket of reputation 56 * Less than 5,000 Steem accounts have a reputation above 56 (4,911) ![separator](https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmZivL6Y6ztiUrZqm1QFRtr3aWhdVx1CHKXzSsJovU692X/steemit-hr.png) All data referred to in this post comes from cryptoriddler’s render, who [used ](https://steemit.com/steemit/@cryptoriddler/distribution-of-reputation-levels-2017-12-27-verteilung-der-reputationslevel-27-12-2017#@cryptoriddler/re-chrismccron-re-cryptoriddler-re-chrismccron-re-cryptoriddler-distribution-of-reputation-levels-2017-12-27-verteilung-der-reputationslevel-27-12-2017-20171227t134046178z) Steem-Python to extract the data and visualized with Blendr.
