Is there any statistics for the various close options? Additionally how many questions of each close type are eventually reopened?

If not globally available, can a mod post the information for us?

There's a list of them here: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2677/… \$\endgroup\$

Here's my attempt at a data explorer query based on a few existing queries. The month shown is based on the creation date of the original post not the date it was actually closed or re-opened. I haven't given it much of a check over but the results look fairly plausible.

Monthly totals of questions closed / re-opened by close reason

Just a few notes:

Found something on meta.so, had to play with the filters to show the data.

https://api.stackexchange.com/docs/advanced-search#page=1&pagesize=100&fromdate=2014-03-01&todate=2014-03-14&order=desc&sort=activity&closed=True&filter=!)4rx.eTsSSR1zWcYugLAn5C3EYgk&site=electronics&run=true

Example result:

{
"closed_details": {
"on_hold": true,
"description": "This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason: Questions on the repair of consumer electronics, appliances, or other devices must involve specific troubleshooting steps and demonstrate a good understanding of the underlying design of the device being repaired. See also: "Is asking on how to fix a faulty circuit on topic?" – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams, PeterJ, alexan_e, Joe Hass, Dave Tweed\r\n ",
"reason": "off-topic"
},
"creation_date": 1394696962,
"link": "Have I destroyed my device",
"closed_reason": "off-topic",
"title": "Have I destroyed my device"
},
