The Facebook Advertising Demographics

...Are partially based on *location*

People move around. A person at college in another state is in two places, and counts twice, as far as location-based demographics is concerned. That's why Facebook's statement "number of factors, including Facebook user behaviors, user demographics, and *location data from devices*" is both truthful and easy to misinterpret.
