Not really.
It'll fluctuate all the time for damnedest of reasons, none of which will be helpful to your prospective candidates.
And the wider point is if they're put off by statistics, then their heart probably isn't in it enough to make it through all the other hoops. It is, by its very nature, a role for only the select few. If they want it, they have to believe they're good enough to be amongst that few.
And if they believe they're good enough, it doesn't matter how many others are applying.
