Socio-economic status scores from SCP are produced on a PC4 level and are based on: education,  income and position in the labor market. A higher score indicates a higher status.

This dataset involves grid files of interpolated (by KNMI) daily average temperature values for the Netherlands, based on 33-35 KNMI automatic observation stations.

Days from 1 October 2017 to 30 June 2018 were processed by Gecco and linked to PC6 centroids.

Gridded (25x25 m) interpolated (by Gecco) monthly average based on 10 KNMI automatic observation stations, corrected with the temperature difference in the RIVM dataset Stedelijk hitte-eiland effect (UHI).

The urban heat island effect (UHI) dataset shows the average yearly temperature difference between areas that are more rural or more urban. The UHI is caused by among others ‘waste heat’ from energy use in densely populated areas and urban elements like roads and buildings that retain the daily heat of especially hot summer days, which prevents cooling off at night. The map shows yearly average temperature differences up to 3 degrees, but in reality differences can be much higher, particular in hot summer periods. The UHI is calculated by the RIVM with the UrbClim model on high resolution (100 – 250 meter) based on a.o. landuse data, vegetation, soil sealing and climate data.

Urbanisation degree ^GT

Address

2020

Urbanisation degree can be calculated on request for other BAG years from 2012 onwards

Urbanization degree as density per km2 of BAG residence addresses (‘omgevings-adressendichtheid - OAD’) in a circular radius of 1000 meter. The same methodology is used as for the urbanisation degree in the CBS key statistical figures, but without summarizing figures to administrative areas.

 VUmc Amsterdam, GECCO project

Composite score based on six components: 1) Population density, 2) Density of retail and service destinations (retail environment), 3) Land-use mix, 4) Street connectivity (intersection density), 5) Green space, 6) Side walk surface area.  The address level data is produced for 8 different neighborhood radii (150-, 250-, 350-, 500-, 750-, 1000-, 1650 and 2000 meter).
