You can go down that rabbit hole for years. Unemployment rates in each country will also skew numbers. So can social security/retirement qualifications. For an analysis like this, you have to pick a range, and you have to apply it equally against all test subjects (in this case, countries).

I'd guess they made their choice based on a calculated averages of starting/stopping work.

Nice work. It takes a lot of work to record all of that

You might consider googling “profit and loss statement” and formatting the same as that. It then can have the option of category totals such as below. If you’re interested I can share a spreadsheet with you

Gross Income

Deductions/tax

Net income

Expenses (all various categories)

Total expenses

Operating profit

Savings

Net profit

Would love to see a comparison against Prusa's Printables site. The shit-show Thingiverse has become (especially after Stratasys bought them) has stagnated growth in actual models versus the remixes of base models (i.e. customizer models of things like signs, names. Etc)

TL;DR: Thingiverse is dying and Printables is becoming the new "good" repository with explosive growth.

Thingiverse.com is the largest online platform for sharing models for 3d printing, and it continues to grow. Glad to see that the majority of models published are not simply toys :)

Out of curiosity, and as a learning exercise, I pulled the data from Thingiverse's REST API using Python. The code I used for doing this is available , if you want to check it out. I'm a total noob, and just downloaded everything locally on CSV files (would love to hear about better approaches, like creating a database or something more refined).

The image is from a post I wrote about the statistics of Thingiverse..

It shows the cumulative number of published models ("Things") on Thingiverse.com over time. On the left side, the growth of the total number of models. On the right, the same analysis for each of the 10 main categories.

That makes more sense. Why is retail so damn high?! I'm guessing the 4K is August was related to the move in July, maybe furniture or something, but I can't think of any other major expense in retail other than clothing and maybe electronics, but those are large non-recurring expenses. I find it hard to believe that you'd be buying nearly a thousand dollars worth of clothes every month, so it's probably a subcategory I'm not thinking of, but I have no idea what it is.

According to the official Website of Vienna, it's 1661 km. However, as mentioned here, this is what is included:

  • 169.2 km of actual bike paths
  • 170 km of mixes pedestrian/bike paths
  • 44,6 km of bike lanes
  • 142 km of multi-use lanes (like bike lanes, but less illegal for cars to drive on them...)
  • 28.7 km of bike crossings and intersections
  • 7.4 km of bicycle streets (where cars are allowed, but sometimes modal filters discourage driving cars there)
  • 324.8 km of one way streets with a bike lane in the other direction
  • 18.6 km of bus lanes that allow bikes there (and usually taxis, so it's pretty worthless)
  • 275 km of bike routes (can be anything, but since these are not included in the other categories, it's simply quieter streets that cyclists are directed to using direction signs. Some of these actually do have a lot of traffic and are awful to cycle in)
  • 8.9 km of pedestrian zones that allow cycling (but usually only "walking speed" which is not properly defined)
  • 38.1 km of Wohnstraßen (google it, you are allowed to play football on the street, no through traffic for cars allowed, in reality those are parking lots)
  • 358.8 km traffic calmed areas (honestly, no idea what that is. It probably contains "Begegnungszonen", which is a 20 km/h shared space, but we do not have 358.8 km of those)
  • 73.9 km Mountainbike trails (mostly in the forest, you can see those in OP's map along the western edge

All in all, it could be worse, but we do not have 1600 km of actual bike infrastructure.

I had 2 big purchases this year for my hobbies. One in February and one in August. Retail is stuff I bought from a store that doesn’t fall under entertainment (concerts/movies/sports).
