Water board, maintenance and insurance are estimated from national rates and the home's value and size, so they aren't compared.

  • The home: one typical home of 138 m² (estimated gemeente average) with the average WOZ value here, €483,000.
  • Levies: Lopik's own OZB, sewage and waste rates for 2026. The water board levy uses national average rates.
  • Set aside: maintenance at 0.85% and buildings insurance at 0.06% a year of the rebuild cost (€1,800 per m²).
  • NL median: what the same home would pay in the middle gemeente. Gemeenten where a regional body collects the waste levy are left out.
  • Not included: mortgage and energy. These are estimates, not actual bills.

  • Petrol77.9%
  • Other fuel (diesel, LPG, electric etc.)22.1%
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'.
