GitHub Developer Index: reachability and availability by city

Aggregated statistics on 82,493 active GitHub developers in the United States, France and the United Kingdom, broken down by metropolitan area, technology and engineering role.

Each row reports how many developers the group contains, what share publish an email address on their GitHub profile, and what share have flagged themselves as available for hire.

Last updated: 2026-09-23. Refreshed monthly.

Files

File Scope
starhunt-developers.csv All three markets
starhunt-developers-us.csv United States
starhunt-developers-fr.csv France
starhunt-developers-uk.csv United Kingdom

Columns

Column Meaning
country United States, France or United Kingdom
metro Metropolitan area, or * for the whole country
technology Technology, or * for all
role Engineering role, or * for all
developers Number of developers in the group
public_email_pct Share with a public email address on their profile
open_to_work_pct Share whose profile is flagged as available for hire

A developer is counted once per group, never once per technology. Rows are a cube: the country total, each city, each technology, each role, and the city-by-technology crossings.

Method, and what this does not measure

Figures come from public GitHub profiles and repositories, enriched and deduplicated. Locations are free text on GitHub, so they are normalised to a metropolitan area before counting, and suburbs fold into their hub.

Three limits worth stating.

This measures the developers we have indexed, not every developer in a city: a place with fewer rows may simply be less covered.

"Open to work" is GitHub's own self-declared flag, which people set and then forget. Read it as a floor, not a census.

Groups smaller than 50 developers are excluded entirely. Below that, a percentage is rounding noise rather than a measurement.

Privacy

This dataset contains no individual records: no usernames, no email addresses, no profile URLs. Only counts and percentages over groups of at least 50 people.
