Stats
Places to find information about OpenStreetMap's database...
| Stats | The main statistics page, showing number of users, amount of data, etc. |
| Data stats | Normally automatically updated every day, and show the number of ways, nodes, relations, etc. in the database. That page also shows the leaderboards for people uploading data. There are also other statistics at QA. |
| Server stats | Showing the disk, memory, I/O, bandwidth stats of each of the OpenStreetMap servers |
| Wiki stats | showing the access statistics etc for the wiki pages. Please note: Stats distorted from 12/Oct/2007 due to Proxy-Cache running in front of webserver. See also Special:Statistics |

Database Statistics - Graphical
The graphical charts below use the daily database data summary. The charts are updated periodically by Blackadder. To see the current status of the database statistics click here.
On the following two graphs the statistics count was changed on 2007-08-01. Previous to this date the count includes deleted objects, after this date the count only contains visible objects. This accounts for the drop in numbers at that time.
Country Stats
Denmark
