Statistics
tracking the remarkable growth of OpenStreetMap's database and community
Database statistics
Normally automatically updated every day. Performs analysis on the database that makes OpenStreetMap work – shows the number of ways, nodes, relations, etc. in the database. That page also shows the leaderboards for people uploading data.
There is a
historical dump
of this full data going back to 2007 and some basic data going back to 2005.
Taginfo
Taginfo
analyzes OSM tag usage. Has many different reports on tags and also on the number of objects in the database.
Server statistics
Showing the disk, memory, I/O, bandwidth stats of each of the OpenStreetMap
servers

In summary
Current approximation of the number of users: more than ten million (based on
10 million registered users (2025-Q2)
10 billion nodes (2025-08-12)
≈4 million map changes/day (2021-Q4)
2.25 million different user contributors (2025-Q2)
Database statistics - Active reports
Editor usage stats
(since 2009) generated from changeset information since
API 0.6
in 2009.
Editing frequency
(2010) generated from changeset information since
API 0.6
in 2009, and synthesized changesets since 0.5.
Database statistics - Graphical charts (since 2005)
These historical graphical charts below use the daily database data summary. The charts are updated periodically by
Blackadder
and a csv file of the raw daily data used is available from
here
The current status of the database can be seen on

Nodes, ways and relations
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.

Contributor statistics reports
These statistics are generated from the changeset diff feed from planet.openstreetmap.org and show numbers on users that have actually made edits. Changesets were introduced in early 2009, for edits prior to that date changesets were generated retroactively. That and the phasing out of anonymous edits between 2007 and 2009 may cause some differences prior to 2009 in the numbers to other methods of counting.
The graphs show a strong impact of the introduction of the editing feature in the maps.me app, please have a look at
updated statistics for 2018 diary post
for more information.
Total accumulated contributors to the data
New contributors per month
Active contributors per month
"Active" implies the contributors in question have made an edit in the relevant time frame.
Active new and old contributors per year
New and old contributors are not discriminated in 2009 or before as it is not possible to track them prior to the introduction of changesets in 2009: most of them however were new contributors compared to the previous year where the total in 2009 was a lot larger than those registered and contributing since 2008 or before.
Active contributors per month relative to total number of accounts
Edits per month
Total edits of any kind (the sum of the number of changes in all changesets, as reported by num_changes value) per month.

New contributors per week (2005-2011)
Contribution percentage by user (2009-2010)
Note this is
historic data from 2009
, a point in time when OSM contained less that 15% of what it contains at the beginning of 2014 and about 5% of what it contains today (Early 2020).
