72% of all the neuromas are located in the third metatarsal space (between the third and fourth metatarsal head).
30% of all the Morton’s neuroma are reported in the 2^nd metatarsal space
5% in the 4^th metatarsal space
2% in the 1^stmetatarsal space (known as a Joplin’s Neuroma)

(Not all the articles reviewed had statistics on each web space which is why the total does not add to 100%.)
