S2000 Registry Statistics

As of last night, Wednesday, February 23, 2011 we had 1,188 participants in the Registry. This number represents what I estimate to be approximately 1% of the S2000s still on the road. Not a tremendous number, but a number big enough to give validity to some statistical analysis. I started slowly, looking at some simple things and as the weeks go by and the Registry continues to grow, I will do more analysis and try to see if there are any trends and relationships. Even with my simple start I’ve come up with some interesting facts. You can view the entire list here:

For starters, I was curious about where we live. I found that we come from everywhere. Represented among the participants in the registry are 22 countries, and 22 vehicles that didn’t give their location. These twenty two nations are Australia, Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, Germany, Guam, Guatemala, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Lebanon, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, United Arab Emerites, United Kingdom and the United States. The United States leads with 989 participants, Canada is second with 63, Australia third with 17, United Kingdom has 16, Italy and The Netherlands have 12, Belgium has 5, Puerto Rico 3, Germany and Malta 2 each and the rest have 1. I like the idea that our little roadster is truly an international car.

Next I picked three countries in an effort to see where the cars live. In Australia, West Australia leads with 6, followed by New South Wales with 4, Queensland 3, Victoria 2, and unknown (the participants didn’t give a location) 2.

In Canada the top 5 are Ontario with 19, British Columbia with 16, Alberta with 10, Quebec with 5 and Saskatchewan with 3.

In the United States California has a resounding lead with 195, followed by Texas with 85, Florida with 68, Ohio with 53 and New York with 41. All in all, 47 of the 50 states are represented, and some of the numbers are surprising. For example my state, New Jersey is 7th with 34. I thought New Jersey would have less. On the other hand, Nevada only has 9, New Mexico and Colorado only 6 and New Mexico only has 5. I thought they’d have many more.

To see the entire listing follow the above link to my spreadsheet.

Finally for today, I wanted to take a look at the exterior colors. We all have our favorites, and for the most part the breakout is predictable, but I didn’t expect as wide a spread between the first color and the next 4. Silverstone, as expected, is the leader with 276, but Berlina Black, the second most popular color has only 190. Not too shabby by itself, but as compared to Silverstone it’s a distant second. Third place is held by New Formula Red with 149, next is Grand Prix White with 124 and next is Sebring Silver with 101. After that Rio Yellow and Suzuka are tied at 77, but if you add Spa Yellow to the Rio Yellow, the Yellows jump to 4th place with 134.

Once again, you can see the entire listing and breakout by following the link above.

I hope you enjoy these statistics. I plan on doing some more comparisons and analysis as the weeks progress and the Registry grows. If you haven’t yet signed up for the Registry, please do.

 

Very interesting info, Rob. I finally got around to pm'ing my info.

 

Thanks Val, I'm going to add you tonight.

These first stats are some simple, basic things. In the near future I hope to develop some relationships just for the fun of it. I might look at things like which colors are most popular in each state or country. Which years are the most popular in each location and maybe even which colors are the most popular with each club.

I'm hoping the Registry continues to grow. The more participation, the more meaningful the statistics.

 

Interesting info there, Rob. I am going to assume that Laguna Blue is the least common color in the registry, behind the yellows and Suzuka. Correctamundo?

 

Great data, Rob. Looks like you got quite a few new cars in the registry after the story was published on the home page about hitting 1000.

 

Rob, in the middle of this page you will find sales stats, as reported by Honda, during the S2000's production for various areas of the world.

Of course, it's more fun building those stats one car at a time.

 

Actually, this is pretty interesting. I'm going to compare our years participants and country participants (as percentages) to Honda's to see how closely our Registry compares to what Honda originally did. If I get the chance I'll do it this weekend (in between tax returns).

 

Yes, getting home page exposure for the Registry is great. The flood gates open very wide. We also picked up, via Vanishing Point, the CR roster and got a number of members from s2k club Italia from alex_novi.

 

No, Laguna is right in the middle with 48. Take a look at the link in the first post. The whole listing is there (on Google-Docs).
