02 · Safety
Too few residents for a rate per resident: these are counts.
Eemspoort has too few residents for a reliable rate per 1,000 residents (under 200), so counts are shown instead of a comparison. In 2025, 35 crimes were registered, against 29 in 2021. Crimes are counted where they happen, not where the offender lives.

Explanation
Too few residents for a reliable per-1,000 figure (threshold 200) — registered crime, not all crime — CBS/Politie 47018NED.
The largest category in Eemspoort is 'Theft and burglary': 16 in 2025.

Explanation
Too few residents for a reliable per-1,000 figure (threshold 200). Four categories are structurally withheld at buurt level (sex offences, child pornography, child prostitution, other integrity offences); the gap with the published total is shown under 'other'.
In 2024, police in Eemspoort registered 19 traffic accidents, of which 1 with injury and none 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.

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
46% of passenger cars do not run on petrol (diesel, LPG, electric etc.), against 29% in the municipality of Groningen (2025).
Petrol54.1%
Other fuel (diesel, LPG, electric etc.)45.9%
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 53% to 46% between 2021 and 2025.
