We use the historic record of sunspot groups compiled by the Royal Greenwich Observatory together with the sunspot number to derive the dependence of the statistical properties of sunspot emergence on the cycle phase and strength. In particular we discuss the latitude, longitude, area and tilt angle of sunspot groups as functions of the cycle strength and of time during the solar cycle.
