Default How many active gliders in USA?

Anybody know how many gliders are *active* in USA?

As usual, the FAA statistics are garbled (this shows gliders, but lists
all experimentals as a separate category, including experimental gliders):
https://www.faa.gov/data_research/av...SEP2016V2.xlsx

The FAA database is a total mess (as one expects from FAA), and
probably includes many inactive gliders.
Anyway I did a quick sort, and got:

Valid glider registrations 4523
standard registration (not experimental) 2728
experimental or other non-standard 1795

Anybody have any better statistics?

Thanks,
Best Regards, Dave
