Really interesting
Really interesting statistics. PMP is the only certification which seems to be popular in the market , all others have just failed to take off
RMP, ACP, SP are only done by People in Academic professions.

PMI-ACP had taken off
Actually, if you consider that the PMI-ACP was released about a year ago and has in the month of January 2012 alone surpassed, with the exception of the PMP, what all the other certifications took years to accomplish indicates to me that it has grown quite a bit of adoption.
In terms of testing overall Agile knowledge I think the PMI-ACP is the best exam. See this blog posting for more details: http://www.gantthead.com/blog/Agility-and-Project-Leadership/5126/

Good information Don, but
Good information Don, but for Agile / Scrum ACP is far from being considered an industry standard, there are other certifications also, so unless it picks up like PMP and really takes off, adoption will be a challenge.
