FWIW:  The "CW" stations are citizen's weather stations, which may
or may not be amateur radio stations (typically not).  Ignore those
when trying to figure out how many APRS'ers are in your area.

Also:  People can be attached to the internet without being on the
radio at all.  Some of the APRS'ers are probably in that mode.  If
you click on each station and look at the raw packet, if you see
"TCPIP" or "TCPXX" in the header portion, they are internet-only
stations.  KC0EPW is in that category.  The header of the packet
extends to/through the first ':' character.
