Americans spent more than two and a half billion dollars on OnlyFans last year, and the money is anything but evenly spread. Some states feed the platform far beyond their size, a few mid-size cities outspend metros many times larger, and where the cash goes looks almost nothing like where the creators actually live. Sorting out that gap is the difference between guessing and actually finding the best accounts for you, which is why it pays to start with the full national picture before narrowing down to your state, your city, and the kind of creator you want.
The platform, in scale
OnlyFans has become one of the largest engines in the creator economy. In its 2024 financial year the platform processed about 7.22 billion dollars in fan payments worldwide and paid roughly 5.8 billion of that to creators under its standard 80 percent split. It counted around 4.63 million creator accounts, up from fewer than 350,000 in 2019, against hundreds of millions of fan accounts. The United States is the single biggest national market inside that total, which is why a national picture is worth drawing before you go looking for anyone in particular.
What America spends on OnlyFans
Americans spent an estimated 2.63 billion dollars on the platform in 2025, according to a financial analysis reported by The Hill and Nexstar stations early in 2026. Spread across the country that comes to roughly 77,000 dollars per 10,000 residents, a little over 7 dollars a head per year. The money does not land evenly. A few states carry most of the total, and a separate set of cities spend far beyond what their size would predict.
The states that spend the most
| Rank | State | Total spend (2025) | Share of US | Per 10k residents |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | California | $350.6M | 13.0% | $88,916 |
| 2 | Texas | $248.4M | 9.2% | $79,415 |
| 3 | New York | $167.1M | 6.2% | $84,128 |
| 4 | Florida | $159.6M | 5.9% | $68,320 |
| 5 | Illinois | $118.4M | 4.4% | $93,176 |
| 6 | Ohio | $100.3M | 3.7% | $84,461 |
| 7 | Pennsylvania | $100.3M | 3.7% | $76,741 |
| 8 | Georgia | $87.4M | 3.2% | $78,237 |
| 9 | Michigan | $82.0M | 3.0% | $80,960 |
| 10 | North Carolina | $79.2M | 2.9% | $71,704 |
California alone accounts for roughly one in eight dollars spent on the platform nationwide, and the top ten states together carry more than half of all US spending. Raw size is not the whole story, though. Measured per resident, Illinois quietly outspends every other large state, and New York and Ohio both spend at a higher rate per head than California does. A state can sit mid-table in total dollars and still be one of the most enthusiastic markets in the country once you adjust for population.
The cities that spend the most per resident
| Rank | City | Per 10k residents |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Atlanta, GA | $525,475 |
| 2 | Orlando, FL | $466,430 |
| 3 | Salt Lake City, UT | $412,038 |
| 4 | Miami, FL | $374,921 |
| 5 | Minneapolis, MN | $337,268 |
| 6 | Cleveland, OH | $303,703 |
| 7 | Denver, CO | $296,498 |
| 8 | Seattle, WA | $288,159 |
| 9 | St. Louis, MO | $261,820 |
| 10 | Las Vegas, NV | $258,607 |
The city ranking breaks the obvious assumptions. Atlanta leads the entire country per resident by a wide margin, and warm-weather metros like Orlando, Miami and Las Vegas show up where you might expect them. But Cleveland, Minneapolis, Denver, Seattle and St. Louis sit right alongside them, which means this is neither a climate story nor a coastal one. The spending tracks more closely with a blend of disposable income, young urban populations, and the presence of universities and military bases than with any single region or weather pattern.
Where the money goes is not where the creators are
There is one trap in reading these tables. Spending measures demand, not supply, and the places that spend the most are frequently not the places where the most creators live. The pattern turns up again and again in the state research behind this guide. A capital like Columbus or a military city like San Antonio can spend heavily while producing relatively few creators, shipping most of that money out of state, while a Houston or a Cleveland earns more in creator income than its own residents spend. If your goal is to find creators rather than to measure spending, a high spot on these lists is a starting clue, not an answer. The state guides below are where the actual supply is mapped.
How to find the best US accounts
The best account is not the same for everyone, which is why no single national list is worth much. What counts as best depends on whether you want the biggest names, the best value, a particular type of creator, or simply someone close to home. Each of those has a reliable route.
The biggest names are the easy part. A handful of US creators have crossed into the mainstream, from household names like Mia Khalifa and Bhad Bhabie to top earners who reportedly pull in tens of millions a year. They are not hard to find. For most people, though, the best account is a better match rather than a bigger following.
If you care about a particular type, category is the strongest filter, and it is how the creators on FanFind are organized. Popular starting points include free pages, Latina, MILF, ebony, Asian, fitness, amateur and petite creators. A large share of the most popular US creators keep that main page free and earn through tips and extras instead, so the best account to follow is often one that costs nothing to join.
And if best simply means closest, state and city research are usually the way in. A useful location guide should name real creators tied to that place and read the local scene honestly, which beats any generic national ranking for finding someone you will actually care about.
The four regions of the American scene
Zoomed out, the country splits into four broad scenes, each with its own character.
The South is the per-resident heavyweight. Atlanta tops the national city ranking, the Florida metros of Orlando and Miami sit close behind, and the result is the densest concentration of high-spending cities anywhere in the country.
The Western US is split between a single giant and a cluster of over-performers. California is the largest market in the nation by raw dollars, while Mountain West and coastal cities like Salt Lake City, Denver, Las Vegas and Seattle all spend far above their size.
The Plains and Midwest is the quiet surprise. Illinois spends more per resident than any other large state, and Rust Belt cities like Cleveland, Minneapolis and St. Louis rank among the heaviest per head in the country, a long way from the region's buttoned-up reputation.
The Northeast concentrates its weight in New York, the third largest state market in the country, with Pennsylvania close behind. It spends big in absolute terms through sheer density rather than through any single chart-topping city.
What creators earn, and what it costs to follow them
For all the billions moving through the platform, the economics are far more top-heavy than the headline totals suggest. The median creator earns only around 180 dollars a year. The real money sits in a thin top layer, where the top one percent clear tens of thousands and the very biggest names earn into the millions. That shape matters for fans, because it makes most of the market inexpensive. Pages typically run between about 5 and 15 dollars a month, a large share are free to subscribe to outright, and the bulk of what creators actually earn arrives through tips and pay-per-view content rather than the subscription fee itself. Following several creators at once rarely costs much, and the biggest names are often the ones giving away the base subscription.
How finding creators by location actually works
It is worth being plain about what is and is not possible. OnlyFans does not publish a creator's location, and it does not let you search a map for people near you. The platform knows roughly where creators are for tax and payment reasons, but it does not expose that publicly, and it restricts some content by country rather than by city. Everything you see about where a creator is based comes from what they choose to put in a bio or a social post, which is self-reported and often out of date.
That does not make location useless. It makes it a method rather than a lookup.
- Start broad, then narrow to your state, city, or nearest major metro.
- Read creator bios for a pinned location. Many put their city or state right at the top.
- Search your city name on the platforms creators use to promote, such as Instagram, X, TikTok and Reddit, then follow the links to their pages.
- Once you find one local creator, follow their collaborations and shout-outs, since people in the same city tend to know one another.
- Treat any location as a signal, not a guarantee. People move, travel and tag loosely.
Anyone promising a precise, verified list of creators in your exact town is guessing, or padding a page with creators who have no real connection to the place. The honest version is the method above.
About these numbers
The national spending figures here come from a 2025 analysis that built a financial model to estimate fan payments by state and city, reported across mainstream news outlets. They are careful estimates rather than published platform accounting, so they are best read as a reliable shape of the market rather than exact figures. The platform totals come from OnlyFans' own annual report. The creators FanFind highlights are a separate matter entirely. They are verified accounts, checked and sorted by category, not scraped at random or invented to fill space on a page.
Common questions
About 2.63 billion dollars in 2025, which works out to a little over 7 dollars per person across the country.
California, at more than 350 million dollars, roughly an eighth of all US spending. Texas and New York follow.
Per resident, Atlanta leads the country by a wide margin, followed by Orlando, Salt Lake City, Miami and Minneapolis.
A small group of household names sits at the very top, including crossover celebrities and a handful of creators who reportedly earn tens of millions a year. For most fans, though, the best account is the one that fits what they want, found by category or by state rather than by raw fame.
The platform reported about 4.63 million creator accounts worldwide in its 2024 financial year, up from fewer than 350,000 in 2019.
Less than most people assume. The median creator earns around 180 dollars a year, with earnings concentrated heavily among the top one percent.
OnlyFans does not publish location data or offer a near-me search. Any location you see is self-reported in a bio, so the practical approach is to narrow by state and city and treat location as a clue.
OnlyFans has no official finder beyond its own username and keyword search. Third-party directories exist, including this one, but none can verify a creator's exact location, so browsing by state and by category stays the most reliable route.
No accurate one. OnlyFans does not share where creators live, so any map is built on self-reported tags and guesswork. Narrowing by state and then city is the dependable alternative.
Payments run through the platform rather than the creator, so a creator never sees your card details, and your real name stays private as long as you keep it out of your display name and messages.
