Craigslist Most Trafficked Cities – 2017 Edition

It is that time of the year again. We haven’t posted about city specific Craigslist traffic in a while, so let’s look at that topic again. One critical component when advertising on Craigslist, especially if it is a national campaign, is knowing where to post. When determining potential cities to post in, it is important to know your target demographic.  Generally, you want to hit the cities that have the most traffic, so you can get the maximum amount of people to view your ad for your service or product. Craigslist is a great volume/numbers game, and the more potential inquiries you get, the more you can close.

Targeting the largest cities based upon population is typically a good bet, but Craigslist has some surprisingly popular cities that you wouldn’t expect to be so heavily trafficked. Also, certain regional areas are combined together into one Craigslist city (ex. Fairfield County, CT is part of newyork.craigslist.org). That is why a list like this is so helpful.

So here it is, the 2017 list of most trafficked Craigslist cities, along with the overall percentage of traffic that visits there.
