Too few residents for a rate per resident: these are counts.
Isolatorbuurt has too few residents for a reliable rate per 1,000 residents (under 200), so counts are shown instead of a comparison. In 2025, 627 crimes were registered, against 175 in 2021. Crimes are counted where they happen, not where the offender lives.

In 2024, police in Isolatorbuurt registered 16 traffic accidents, of which 2 with injury and 1 fatal.

FatalInjuryMaterial damage only
Explanation
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.

69% of passenger cars do not run on petrol (diesel, LPG, electric etc.), against 31% in the municipality of Amsterdam (2025).
Petrol30.8%
Other fuel (diesel, LPG, electric etc.)69.2%
Explanation
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'.

Share on other fuel per year
The share of passenger cars not running on petrol went from 29% to 69% between 2023 and 2025.
