+doingitoldschool Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I am wanting to know the total number of caches in Canada, and in Saskatchewan as well. I can't remember how to find out these numbers, can someone provide some guidance? Quote Link to comment

Keystone Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 One easy way to answer questions like this is through project-gc's Caches Per Area functionality. That page tells me there are 254,111 caches in Canada, of which 12,612 are in Saskatchewan. (Leave the country/region field blank to see all countries, ranked by number of caches. Canada ranks #4 in the world! 3 Quote Link to comment
+GeoElmo6000 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 3 hours ago, Keystone said: Canada ranks #4 in the world! That surprised me, so I had to look to see which countries had the most caches. I always thought it was the US then Germany then Canada, but it looks like France made it to the #3 spot (and the UK made #5). 1 Quote Link to comment

By density, though, PEI's faaaar in the lead. Roughly 2 caches per square kilometre to Ontario's 0.06 and BC's 0.05. I guess we can thank large uninhabited forests for that 2 1 Quote Link to comment
+thebruce0 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 True enough! What about the median density? haha probably no different. Ontario is just HUGE with vast forests and lakes, so even the vast swaths of compressed powertrails and series to its south are nothing by comparison. Nunavut's probably got the least average density though... Interesting stats! Quote Link to comment
+technetium Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 You can use the classic search for s territory: https://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?state_id=71 this shows the number of active caches in that territory (or state or whatever division the country has) For most countries you can also get that with the whole country, unfortunately Canada is one of the countries that don't work with an url like this: https://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?country_id=5&as=1 Tc Quote Link to comment
