European Union - Comparative Geocaching Stats per Member State & evolution the last year

[+HDV]

Some stats I compiled for my own amusement and I thought some of you might find interesting: distribution of active geocaches per member state of the European Union, considering area and population (table 1) and evolution in the number of active geocaches (table 2) over the past year (actually ~50 weeks).

 

Table 1

Note1: km2/cache = area in km2/number of caches = average number of km2 for each active geocache.

Note2: Cache/mill. ppl = active geocaches per million inhabitants.

Note3: Figures for population and area taken from Wikipedia.

 

Table 2

* Joined the EU in 2007; I had no figures for 2006 hence no possible comparison.

It looks like you and I are psychic partners.
