Paizo knows about every game my characters play in the Pathfinder Society, and their class. Is there some public information somewhere about these?
A naïve google search did not find anything.

Probably Not
Class isn't a required field for characters on Paizo's website. Any data they do have is a partial list, and could be incorrect if a character was rebuilt and the character info not updated.
However
I have a personal list of characters I've played with or GMed for in Pathfinder Society. It's unique by character name. Here's the summary table:
| Class | Count |
|---|---|
| Fighter | 46 |
| Rogue | 44 |
| Cleric | 42 |
| Magus | 41 |
| Ranger | 39 |
| Sorcerer | 39 |
| Champion | 31 |
| Barbarian | 30 |
| Monk | 30 |
| Wizard | 28 |
| Bard | 26 |
| Gunslinger | 25 |
| Summoner | 25 |
| Inventor | 23 |
| Swashbuckler | 23 |
| Druid | 22 |
| Alchemist | 21 |
| Oracle | 17 |
| Investigator | 14 |
| Thaumaturge | 10 |
| Witch | 8 |
| Psychic | 7 |
Total: 591
Caveats:
- The total is relatively small. I'd be more confident in the data with 1000+.
- Dark Archive was released fairly recently, Thaumaturge & Psychic haven't been out for long enough to accurately compare with the other classes.
- The random-party nature of Pathfinder Society may skew the numbers in favor of certain classes that are more self-sufficient and/or more likely to work well with others.
- This is a personal list from my own online play. It may not be indicative of the whole of Pathfinder Society.
If anyone else has their own personal list they could theoretically be combined to get a more accurate picture, assuming duplicates can be removed.

\$\begingroup\$ Out of curiosity, ,were there no people playing multiple classes? Or if there were, how did you account for them in your data? \$\endgroup\$Alan– Alan2023-01-06 19:50:35 +00:00Commented Jan 6, 2023 at 19:50

2\$\begingroup\$ @Alan PF2e doesn't allow you to take levels in different classes like PF1e. Multiclassing is done by taking Dedication feats that give you access to specific class abilities. \$\endgroup\$MJD– MJD2023-01-06 21:26:21 +00:00Commented Jan 6, 2023 at 21:26
