As usual I won&#8217;t report all the findings, you can find them in the link. There isn&#8217;t anything eye catching in terms of changes in land holdings this month, the grid has shrunk and at a faster rate than in March but one interesting point to note is the change in class of Servers, there has been a leap, a rather significant one, in class 8 hardware.<\/p>\n<p>Now remember this is a survey, not a census, so there are margins of error.<\/p>\n<p>The key points I will highlight for this survey are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Private Regions down 158 regions (0.8% since last month)<\/li>\n<li>Total private regions now stand at 20,324<\/li>\n<li>Estimated monthly tier income &#8211; US$4,091,000 +\/- US$51,000 (Down around $45,000 or 1.1% on last month).<\/li>\n<li>Top 20 landowners own 38.3% of private regions (Up 0.8% on last month).<\/li>\n<li>Top 20 landowners pay 30.7% of private region tier (Up 0.4% on last month).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nothing earth shattering in these figures, although the decline in private regions was higher during April at 0.8%, when compare to March where it was 0.3%.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas the top 20 landowners holdings are up slightly, the Top 10 are down slightly, very slightly at 0.1%.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Top 10 Estates by number of regions held are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>RGF Estates Inc 4.9%<\/li>\n<li>Azure Islands 3.4%<\/li>\n<li>Zoha Islands 3.3%<\/li>\n<li>Dreamseeker Estates 2.8%<\/li>\n<li>Weezles Real Estate (WRE) 2.6%<\/li>\n<li>Victoria Chung 2.3%<\/li>\n<li>Jessica Chung 2.1%<\/li>\n<li>Miriam Chung 2.1%<\/li>\n<li>Fruit Islands Estate 1.9%<\/li>\n<li>Lala Rentals 1.8%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now for the interesting part, to me at least. <a title=\"Tyche Private Survey March 2013\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sluniverse.com\/php\/vb\/virtual-business\/8523-new-sl-sims-past-week-82.html#post1748303\" target=\"_blank\">In March&#8217;s Survey Tyche reported<\/a> server class as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Class 503 &#8211; 13.2%<\/li>\n<li>Class 701 &#8211; 38.0%<\/li>\n<li>Class 703 24.6%<\/li>\n<li>Class 801 24.0%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This survey sees some, positive, I would imagine, changes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Class 503 &#8211; 12.9% (-0.3% since March)<\/li>\n<li>Class 701 &#8211; 29.7% (-8.3% since March)<\/li>\n<li>Class 703 &#8211; 15.3% (-9.3% since March)<\/li>\n<li>Class 801 &#8211;\u00a0 42.1% (+18.1% since March)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Class 801 is now the most popular class for private regions, for the first time ever, but the two class 7 groupings combined outnumber class 8.
