OSMDoc is great - it's a shame it's a year out of date. I needed a
more modern breakdown of tag statistics so I decided to write a
report myself - very quick and dirty (no where near as cool as
OSMDoc), but functional to get a breakdown of tag usage. I figured
someone else might like to read it too:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gamesforlittletimmy.com/TagStats_100811.txt.gz">http://www.gamesforlittletimmy.com/TagStats_100811.txt.gz</a><br>
(6.1MB decompressed, 881K download. The text file is Unix
formatted, UTF-8)<br>
<br>
Basically the file is a breakdown of the most common tags. If you
want to know what is the most common shop=, amenity=, highway = etc,
this file probably has it. (I skip most of the private spaces like
tiger: , ksj2:, naptan: etc).<br>
<br>
Now for the fun and useless facts part:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>name="Hauptstraße" is the most common name in the world. Used
14,353 times. (Main Street in German as I understand it) </li>
<li>There are 16,691,461 ways, nodes or relations marked with
building=something. A year ago that number was 2,367,194 -
roughly 7x growth.</li>
<li>addr:city ="San Diego" is the most common in the world -
367,229 times.</li>
<li>The top 4 countries by addr:country="" are DK, US, DE, CZ.</li>
<li>amenity = "swimming_pool" is used 15,436 times. It doesn't
even have a wiki page. leisure = "swimming_pool" (which does
have a wiki page) is used 6,363 times.</li>
<li>amenity = "place_of_worship" is used 327,501 times - 21%
growth over a year ago. amenity = "parking" is used 407,445
times - 81% growth over a year ago.</li>
<li>The most common "street_address"= is "99999 EDITH BLVD NE" -
243 of them in the world. (I suspect import issues)<br>
</li>
<li>There are 315 microbrewery's tagged. This tag didn't exist
last year.</li>
<li>The 5 most common operator = are "Metro Transit" (15,052
times), "Deutsche Telekom AG" (11,226), "Deutsche Post AG"
(9,807), "Deutsche Post" (7061), "Royal Mail" (5,534)</li>
<li>The most common brand is "agip" - 1907 instances. Ford is the
most common car brand with 78 instances.</li>
<li>There are more misspellings of
denomination="church_of_england" (118) than there are
denomination="shia" (81) . denomination="catholic" is the most
common - 42143 (109% growth in a year), but
denomination="baptist" may be first next year 33,965 (1700%
growth in a year).<br>
</li>
<li>shop=hairdresser jumped from 3,439 a year ago to 10729 this
year (there is an icon in Mapnik and osmarender). shop=furniture
grew from 1,675 a year ago to 4,570 this year (14th most common
shop=, neither Mapnik nor osmarender have an icon for furniture
shop's).</li>
<li>sport=soccer is the most common - 26% of all sport="" tags.
sport="scuba_diving" has 2272 tags now - up 11,200% from last
year (20).</li>
</ul>
<br>
I'm sure you can find some interesting/useless/funny stats.<br>
