Breakdown of Observers in KZN

This graph gives a breakdown of how many KZN-based atlas observers live where, also classing them by the number of cards that they have submitted [nationally]. This was as at 29/03/2010.
For instance, there were 23 observers who had submitted one card, 6 in from the Midlands, 5 from Northern KZN, 5 from Port Natal, 1 from Sisonke [Southern KZN], 4 from Trogons [South Coast] and 2 from Zululand.
Alternatively we can see that in the Midlands we have 6 who submitted 1 card, 4 have submitted 2-4 cards, six 5-9 cards, three 10-19, five 20-49, three 50-99, two 100-149, another two 150-199 and last but not least, one observer who has submitted between 400-499 cards.
If one assumes that observers who have submitted 5 or more cards can be said to be regular atlassers, then of the 240 people who reside in KZN that have registered, 84 [or 35%] of them have gone on to atlas regularly. It is also interesting to note that only 127 people [of the 240 who have registered], have actually gone on to submit a card, i.e. only 53%. In other words 53% of the people who have registered have actually gone on to try their hand at atlassing, while only 35% have gone on to submit more than 5 cards.

    This is a fascinating piece of statistics Colin. How did you manage to collate it?
