Grant Wrote a wonderful article on statistics early this year, explaining stats on Temp Tables/Variables.

From his article:

Are statistics created on temporary tables?

Yes. The major difference between a table variable and a temporary table is that a temporary table has statistics. The rules for the creation and maintenance of these statistics are exactly the same as for a regular table within SQL Server. So if you reference a column in a temporary table in a filtering command in T-SQL such as WHERE or JOIN, then a set of statistics will get created. Unfortunately, the creation of the statistics causes a statement recompile. This is a potential disadvantage of temporary tables: For small statements this is a cheap operation. For larger queries this can be very expensive. That’s a reason why you have to be careful about how you work with your temporary tables.
