Rust player concentration: 56% of players are on the top 1% of servers

We took 21,972 public Rust servers and ranked them by their average player count over the seven days to 17 October.

The busiest 1% of them held 56% of all players, and the busiest 10% held 99.2%. Half of all players were on just 177 servers. It took 864 servers, 3.9% of the total, to hold 90% of players.
