Data providers

Many of the topics come from the core statistics about boroughs and neighbourhoods by the Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS). In addition, various other sources have been used. E.g. the address data and some of the data about dwellings is taken from the “BAG” (the Key Register of Addresses and Buildings by the Dutch Land Registry, the Kadaster). See the overview of all sources used.

Key figures for municipalities, boroughs and neighbourhoods

A lot of regional information on various themes is presented at AllCharts.info. Such as population, for example the age groups distribution, family composition, gender, native Dutch or Dutch with an immigration background, …, environment: land use, distance to amenities, homes (numbers, types, price development, use, type of property, … ), economy (income of the inhabitants, number of business establishments by type) and various other themes such as car ownership and energy consumption.

Several times a year, the key figure survey provides new figures on demographic and socio-economic topics, broken down by municipalities, boroughs and neighbourhoods. As a result, some information at AllCharts is from the past year while other parts may be a year older. The information about boroughs and neighbourhood is very broad. The subjects are: population, housing, energy, education, labor, income, social security, companies, motor vehicles, facilities, surface area and land use.

The municipalities are divided into boroughs and neighbourhoods. Each municipality has at least one borough and each borough is made up of at least one neighborhood.

The figures per municipality are used to determine the data for the Netherlands and per province.

Who determines the division into boroughs and neighbourhoods?

The municipalities in the Netherlands have determined their subdivision into boroughs and neighbourhoods themselves. The CBS coordinates this classification nationally. Sometimes a borough is defined as a district (such as Riel, Riel is a village in the municipality of Goirle and is listed as borough at AlleCharts.info). Sometimes a village is defined as a neighborhood (such as the village of Oosterend in the municipality of Texel, see this page at neighborhood level).

Neighborhoods are the lowest regional level. Neighborhoods are sums of one or more contiguous boroughs. A borough is often part of the municipality where a certain form of land use or buildings predominates. For example: industrial area, residential area with high-rise or low-rise. A neighborhood is often part of the municipality that is homogeneously demarcated from a building point of view or socio-economic structure. Homogeneous means that one function is dominant, for example residential function (residential area), work function (industrial area) or recreational function (nature area). However, functions can also appear mixed.
