Statistics Netherlands (CBS, Centraal Bureau voor Statistiek), the government agency for statistical research, has launched a website called CBS in uw buurt (CBS in your neighbourhood) that is exactly that: it shows detailed statistical information about your neighbourhood. The data are shown superimposed over a Google map, and the site lets you compare the data of your neighbourhood with that of others. The types of statistical data available are pretty limited: things like income, housing, and demographics.

Webwereld reports (Dutch) that housing site Funda has been providing a similar service for a while now, but doesn’t operate at the neighbourhood level.

Via Dagelinks (Dutch).

Considering that there is not any other cultural information under "Population", I find it a bit odd that they have "Not Western immigrants" as a theme under "Bevolking, Niet westerse allochtonen".

I'd like to see the number of Tokkies listed, so that I can avoid seeing people daily who are likely to die from overdosing on hair jel.
