In what way does your node tell you this?

@PieterWuille I use a RaspiBlitz and can get Blockchain stats with help of the web app "Bitcoin Explorer". See newly added sccreenshot. (Wow - what an honour to get reply from a Bitcoin VIP...)

It says data size. Your node stores a lot more data than just the blockchain (also undo data, utxo set database, indexes, and a few smaller things like mempool, wallet(s), ...).
