YouTube today feels almost like its own country — hundreds of millions of people watching, commenting, and creating every day. Some creators have reached a level of fame that rivals traditional celebrities.
The StatsPanda‘s map below, built on Social Blade subscriber data, shows the most-subscribed YouTube channel based in each U.S. state in 2025.
According to the Social Blade data, MrBeast towers above everyone else. His has the largest number of subscribers in the world. He’s from North Carolina, and his channel now exceeds 446 million subscribers (2025)—a number that would have sounded impossible a few years ago. California is represented by Cocomelon – Nursery Rhymes, with nearly 198 million subscribers, showing how powerful children’s content has become. In Florida, Like Nastya has built an enormous audience too, now around 196 million subscribers. Texas’s top spot belongs to Dude Perfect, the trick-shot group that turned simple backyard challenges into a full-scale entertainment brand.
Beyond these headline names, the rest of the country is full of smaller but still successful channels. In Montana, Hank Green’s hankschannel leads, continuing his long run as one of YouTube’s most consistent educators. In Nevada, Jubilee dominates, known for social experiments and interviews that often spark big discussions online. Every state has at least one creator who managed to build a recognizable brand, no matter the genre.
It’s interesting how spread out this influence has become. Years ago, most of the biggest YouTubers lived around Los Angeles. Now, creators are based almost everywhere — from small towns to big cities, coast to coast. The platform’s reach is so wide that someone filming from their garage in North Carolina can outdraw television networks.
The 2025 map also highlights how different types of content can succeed side by side. Kids’ shows, challenge videos, family vlogs, and educational channels all have room to grow. YouTube has turned from a simple video site into a mix of entertainment industries — each with its own stars, production styles, and loyal fans.
Take a closer look at the map and see who represents your state. You might recognize them — or maybe discover someone new worth watching.
