The number of known diffuse radio sources in clusters of galaxies (halos and relics) has grown in recent years, making it possible to derive statistical considerations on the physical conditions of these sources and on the properties of related clusters. We will discuss the percentage of clusters with a diffuse source and will show evidence that diffuse sources are associated with X-ray luminous clusters which have undergone recent merger processes.
