Too few residents for a rate per resident: these are counts.

Avelingen Oost has too few residents for a reliable rate per 1,000 residents (under 200), so counts are shown instead of a comparison. In 2025, 38 crimes were registered, against 23 in 2021. Crimes are counted where they happen, not where the offender lives.

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.

Green space is below the Gorinchem average.

Water is the largest land use in Avelingen Oost, covering 47% of the area, against 15% in Gorinchem. Green space such as parks, sports fields, forest and nature covers 2% of the area, 7 percentage points below the 9% in Gorinchem.

Land use

  • Traffic4.2%
  • Built-up38.9%
  • Recreation2.1%
  • Agriculture7.4%
  • Water47.4%
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

33% of passenger cars do not run on petrol (diesel, LPG, electric etc.), against 24% in the municipality of Gorinchem (2025).

  • Petrol66.7%
  • Other fuel (diesel, LPG, electric etc.)33.3%
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 33% between 2021 and 2025.

Explanation
