What I see on this list is all the old TLD’s and ccTLD’s. No new TLD’s listed, not even .info or .biz. What I found very interesting is listed number 12 is .us which is undervalued and a ccTLD that has very many available domains for hand register and some of the more valuable one word .us domains are for sale at low prices.
@GoBuy, I actually created this run down in May of last year but i also agree that .us is undervalued. There are some big changes potentially coming to .us too, which could make it a great time to hand reg some good ones as you mentioned. https://www.strategicrevenue.com/comment-period-closing-on-us-premium-domain-name-and-privacy-plan/
I am impressed by the number of legacy .MIL domain names in use.
Which method did you use?

This is reality, Why create your business domain in un-popular extension.
Build in dot com, buy the other extension to redirect for defensive registration.

I presume you did searches like site:com in google. to get these results.
Also I assume the search was done in the US. The search were done elsewhere in the results would probably have been different.
@Martin, I actually had used a list in an ICANN document,Page 10 of a Report from the ICANN, Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), June 2006, https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/renewal-advisory-29jun06-en.pdf
Now that you’ve published the 20 Top Level Domains as per Google, I challenge you to use your influence to gather up and publish the averages of the 20 top level domains that have sold (in 2016?) in the top five domain auction houses/sites (First, who are they? For example, I believe that Flippa’s metrics are totally inflated – check out all the duplicates). You may even find that the bottom 10 are at/near zero.
Sounds like a great topic to look into
