Built-up land is the largest land use in De Kolk, covering 70% of the area, against 3% in Dronten. Green space such as parks, sports fields, forest and nature covers 7% of the area, 3 percentage points below the 10% in Dronten.

Land use

7% of the area is green (parks, sport, nature), against 10% in the municipality of Dronten.

  • Built-up70.4%
  • Other built-up11.1%
  • Recreation3.7%
  • Forest and nature3.7%
  • Water11.1%
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.

Passenger cars by fuel type

42% of passenger cars do not run on petrol (diesel, LPG, electric etc.), against 29% in the municipality of Dronten (2025).

  • Petrol58.3%
  • Other fuel (diesel, LPG, electric etc.)41.7%
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'.

Source: CBS Kerncijfers wijken en buurten (KWB) 2025

Share on other fuel per year

The share of passenger cars not running on petrol went from 33% to 42% between 2021 and 2025.

Explanation

Based on 159 verblijfsobjecten in use. An object with several registered uses (e.g. a flat above a shop) is counted under each of them, so the shares can add up to more than 100%.
