02 · Safety

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

Zuidwending has too few residents for a reliable rate per 1,000 residents (under 200), so counts are shown instead of a comparison. In 2025, 3 crimes were registered, against 2 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.

03 · Living environment

Green space is below the Groningen average.

Agricultural land is the largest land use in Zuidwending, covering 74% of the area, against 52% in Groningen. Green space such as parks, sports fields, forest and nature covers 1% of the area, 13 percentage points below the 14% in Groningen.

Land use

  • Built-up13.4%

  • Recreation0.6%
  • Agriculture73.8%
  • Water4.9%
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

43% of passenger cars do not run on petrol (diesel, LPG, electric etc.), against 29% in the municipality of Groningen (2025).

  • Petrol57.1%
  • Other fuel (diesel, LPG, electric etc.)42.9%
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'.

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 38% to 43% between 2021 and 2025.

46% of addresses are residential; the largest other use is industrial (49%).

Explanation

Based on 37 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%.
