Water2.1%
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.

67% of passenger cars do not run on petrol (diesel, LPG, electric etc.), against 24% in the municipality of Leeuwarden (2025).
Petrol33.3%
Other fuel (diesel, LPG, electric etc.)66.7%
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'.

Share on other fuel per year
The share of passenger cars not running on petrol went from 67% to 67% between 2021 and 2025.
