Good question. Perhaps someone from the RIRs could provide this
information. What also might be interesting is the rate of change
for PI allocations. My suspicion is the rate of PI allocations is
increasing.
Perhaps more interesting would be percentage and rate of change of PI
IPv6 given scarcity isn't (yet?) an issue with IPv6.

I suspect your position on whether or not PI addresses are property
depends on whether it is "yours" or not.
