How Many Disabled Caches In Your Area?

[+Ed & Julie]

Just for fun, I ran a pocket query for disabled caches in my area.

 

I searched for all the disabled caches within 100 miles of my home coordinates, and came back with 221...seems like a lot, but I am in a somewhat rural area, so I'm sure other places have a lot more.

 

The good new is than my local reviewer has also checked some of the caches that have been disabled the longest and made a reviewer's note on the pages asking for a status report (my reviewer rocks!).

 

So...how many disabled caches are within 100 miles of your home coordinates?

38 disabled caches in the state of Montana.

1 of which is mine and gets disabled every winter to keep folks from annoying the Elk.

 

But we only have 1012 caches in the state currently.

 

For a statistic of 3.75% of all caches in MT currently disabled.

217 within 100 miles of my home zip.

Not many as our reviewer will archive them if they are disabled without any attention for too long.

In the entire State of Ohio, there are 133 disabled caches out of 4011 total, or 3.3%.

In the entire State of Pennsylvania, there are 170 disabled caches out of 5293 total, or 3.2%.

In the entire State of West Virginia, there are 17 disabled caches out of 696 total, or 2.4%.

Total for the Tri-State Area where I do much of my caching: 320 disabled out of exactly 10,000 caches(!), or 3.2%.

 

To answer the OP, there are 75 disabled caches out of 2812 within 100 miles of my home, or 2.6%.

 

I wonder why that is.

258 in all of georgia and 114 of those within 100 miles of me.

[+WalruZ]

474. I was suprised the pq came in under the 500 limit for 100 miles.

[+robert]

40 disabled / 2807 total caches = 1.4%

[+Ed & Julie]

I rechecked for the total number of caches within 100 miles from me, which came back with 3503.

 

So 211 disabled out of 3503 = 6%...higher than most after all.

136 out of 5425 caches. That's 2.5%.

[+tands]

2 of our 6 are disabled due to critters and rivers.

154 out of 5433. You do the math.

[+gof1]

104 out of 4211

[+Team GPSaxophone]

1957 caches within 100 miles of me. 114 of those are disabled

 

Then again, it's winter so probably half of those are out of comission for a few more months

Ran the query.. 67 out of 2721.Not bad I think..reviewer doing a good job. Best part was only 9 of the disabled were within 60 miles the rest of the 58 were 61-100 miles away.

[+5¢]

81 within a hundo

[+welch]

45 of 1064 within 100 miles for ~4.2%

 

I wondered about the whole state so I check and Iowa is 71/1503= ~4.7%

 

I'm somewhat surprized... compared to those that gave percents or enough info to figure a percent this is High

[RexBloodman]

Maxed out the query for 34 27.849 X 117 22.161

Not many as our reviewer will archive them if they are disabled without any attention for too long.

 

My reviewer usually waits to get a SBA log before taking action unless the disabled cache is near or blocking a newly placed cache (that may account for hte unusually high percentage of disabled caches in my area)

 

I just went thru the long-archived list in my area and put a SBA logs on some of the longest disabled caches...you would think I was calling for the end of geocacing with the outcry it has caused
