Robocalls - everyone gets them, but some regions get more than others. New data from YouMail reveals the ten U.S. cities that receive the most robocalls per capita, and nearly all of them are in the South: Baton Rouge, LA Memphis, TN Washington D.C. Little Rock, AR Macon, GA Birmingham, AL Albany, GA Lafayette, LA San Antonio, TX Charleston, SC
The largest metropolises such as Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Houston and New York received the most calls in January, according to YouMail estimates, which would make sense considering the sheer number of mobile phones owned by residents. Adjusted for per capita numbers, however, a new set of cities appear:
- Baton Rouge, LA (45.0 per capita)
- Memphis, TN (39.5)
- Washington D.C. (32.8)
- Little Rock, AR (32.4)
- Macon, GA (31.6)
- Birmingham, AL (31)
- Albany, GA (30.7
- Lafayette, LA (30.4)
- San Antonio, TX (30)
- Charleston, SC (28.5)
As for the total amount of estimated calls by state, these are the top 10 so far in 2023:
- Texas (533,885,600)
- California (396,258,400)
- Florida (359,991,400)
