Oh... it was a long time since I wrote anything here. Not that I haven't had anything to write about, quite the contrary, but I have not feel motivated enough to do it.

So, I will return to the subject of the latest entry, namely geocaching statics in Östergötland. This time I have based the number solely on the http://project-gc.com which is a very useful site if you're interested in statistics. But do not take the number to be set in stone (I will get back to it).

What I did was to make querries with caches placed at 2012-12-31 and compared to 2013-12-31. This means that placed caches not yet published haven't made it. And any cache placed before 2012-12-31 that has been archived during 2013 is not part of the 2012-12-31 statistics. So the numbers are just a good guess.

According to project-gc there is 4146 caches in Östergötland at the moment, which puts Östergötland at place #5. In 2012-12-31 the place was the same but the number just 2820, so we had left Jönköping behind and is closing in on Dalarna. If the V Ö P T continues to grow maybe we will pass Dalarna in 2014?

Numbers per county

Big increase in Motala and Kinda this year. Ydre also managed to increase with more than 50%. The # column below is the number of cache types.

Favorit points

FP is something that might give an indication. A cache with high number of FP might be a great one, or it might be a very well-logged cache that just a few have set an FP. So it just gives an indication. Of course, the larger the number of caches the larger the FP count is but below I present the counties in order of FP per cache.

Summary

This gives some number for each county. I will get back another time with a look at the top list when it comes to COs.

Statistics for Östergötland, August 2012

I have been late in giving you the latest statistics but now it is time to do so. Expect to get the next installment around New Years Eve or so.

As before the statistics is for any non-archived, non-event cache that is placed within the borders of Östergötland (according to geocaching.com). I have corrected the selection so "temporarily disabled" caches are included as well.

This time there has been some minor explosions of cache clusters, e.g. Silverskogen in Norrköping. And the struggle between Linköping and Norrköping continues... The biggest climbes this time is Åtvidaberg and Boxholm that have more than doubled its number.

Today there are 2859 (+762) active caches in Östergötland. Of these one (http://coord.info/GC1TG25) is located in Hallsberg, and two others is located in Askersund. Some border line cases in the other direction also exists, but the State field is the one that I use.

The top list, caches per county, are:

Statistics for Östergötland

In June I did publish some statistics from Östergötland. Time to recalculate these after quite a few new caches. One change from the previous statistics is that Events has been removed. Note! Archived caches are not counted.

The most interesting change this time is the explosion of caches in Finspång. From 60 to 190 in less than 6 months! patojen is the major contributor to this and now appears high in the top CO lists. The increase also meant the Finspång pop up to 4th place among the counties in Östergötland, passing Ödeshög. I suppose The Smokestoners soon will rectify this ;-)

Today there are 2097 (+421) active caches in Östergötland. Of these one (http://coord.info/GC1TG25) is not placed in a Östgöta-county, but in Hallsberg...

The top list, caches per county, are:

So, that was quite a lot of statistics produced using GSAK + Script. Anything missing? Well, some statistics is not possible (I think), for example: Most logged caches, most found, ...

If you thinks this is a good idea, and/or if you want to see other forms of statistics let me know.
