So, I put together a little table of stats on the most popular ccTLDs as of 2020. It started as a way to see what would be the best ccTLD to compare against .CA, but I figured I'd just add these other easily found stats (population & sales). Unfortunately the list of ccTLD data wasn't longer.
ccTLD registration stats are from CIRA & Verisign: https://www.verisign.com/en_US/domain-names/dnib/index.xhtml
2020 populations from Wikipedia.
2020 sales data from Namebio.
When sorted by total registrations, .CA isn't top 10, but close.
When sorted by Registrations per Person, .CA is 4th of those examined, but tops amongst restricted ccTLDs.
When sorted by Avg Reported Sales Price, .CA is tops overall.
So the unrestricted .NL, .DE and .UK have much higher registrations per person, but lower average resale prices.
Of course all of this is based on limited sales data which will always be the biggest problem in these kinds of comparisons.
Discuss.

See many familiar faces or usernames, but those who do not know me I am a retired scientist who has a hobby in domain investing and like to analyze interesting questions, and write at too great a length, probably. :-/
I have a few questions / ideas wondering about:
1. Any suggestions for a particular .ca specific analysis people would like to see?
2. What is your outlook for 2021 in .ca? (I know other threads already discussed that some)
3. Do you think there is interest in some sort of online Canadian domain name show or forum, with the idea being mainly to reach those outside the domain world (i.e. business startup owners, business news media, educators, etc.)?
4. I know a few here are also active on TheDomainSocial. Any thoughts on, not often but now and then, have Canadian only online get together.
Hope all is well with everyone, and that you have a great 2021!
Bob

Yes, it is great you attend so often! And agree, it is usually fun and interesting. While the nature varies a lot from session to session, often nuggets of information and strategy that are so valuable.Hi Bob, welcome.
I try to join The Domain Social whenever I can, it's usually fun and interesting.
