In 2022, police in Dwarsgouw registered 1 traffic accidents, of which 1 with injury and none fatal.
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.

81% of the area is green (parks, sport, nature), against 7% in the municipality of Purmerend.
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.

Dwarsgouw has an average of 0.9 cars per household, 10% lower than in Purmerend (1.0). 11% of cars run on something other than petrol (diesel, LPG or electricity, hybrids included), 12 percentage points less than in Purmerend (23%).
11% of passenger cars do not run on petrol (diesel, LPG, electric etc.), against 23% in the municipality of Purmerend (2025).
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'.

The share of passenger cars not running on petrol went from 11% to 11% between 2021 and 2025.
