Amsterdamse Bos has too few residents for a reliable rate per 1,000 residents (under 200), so counts are shown instead of a comparison. In 2025, 169 crimes were registered, against 166 in 2021. Crimes are counted where they happen, not where the offender lives.

In 2024, police in Amsterdamse Bos registered 29 traffic accidents, of which 2 with injury and none fatal.
Registered accidents (BRON, Rijkswaterstaat); material-damage-only accidents have not been systematically registered since roughly 2010 and are not comparable between areas. This area shows only accidents with an exactly known location (roughly 80-85% of all registered accidents); the rest is known only at street, intersection or gemeente level. The comparison with the gemeente therefore also uses only the gemeente's exactly-located accidents, which is why that figure is lower than on the gemeente's own page.

Forest and natural land is the largest land use in Amsterdamse Bos, covering 49% of the area, against 10% in Amstelveen. Green space such as parks, sports fields, forest and nature covers 71% of the area, 49 percentage points above the 22% in Amstelveen.
71% of the area is green (parks, sport, nature), against 22% in the municipality of Amstelveen.
Every share is calculated as a percentage of the TOTAL area (land and water together, peiljaar 2022); water is therefore one of the slices itself, not a separate whole. Green is the sum of recreational terrain (parks, sport fields, allotments, day recreation) and natural terrain (forest, open natural terrain) — agricultural land is not counted as green here.

27% of passenger cars do not run on petrol (diesel, LPG, electric etc.), against 29% in the municipality of Amstelveen (2025).
CBS splits passenger cars into 'petrol' and 'other fuel' only. That second category bundles diesel, LPG, electric (including hybrid), hydrogen, alcohol, LNG and CNG together — CBS publishes no separate electric-car count per buurt, wijk or gemeente, so this is not the same as an 'electric share'.

The share of passenger cars not running on petrol went from 20% to 27% between 2017 and 2025.
