  • Levies: De Wolden's own OZB, sewage and waste rates for 2026. The water board levy uses national average rates.

Land use

0% of the area is green (parks, sport, nature), against 13% in the municipality of De Wolden.

  • Traffic6.2%
  • Built-up31.2%
  • Agriculture62.5%
Explanation

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.

  • Petrol69.2%
  • Other fuel (diesel, LPG, electric etc.)30.8%
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'.
