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

Explanation

The home: one typical home of 159 m² (measured average in this buurt) with the average WOZ value here, €615,000.
Levies: Zaanstad'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.

Traffic accidents by outcome

In 2024, police in Kreekrijk registered 1 traffic accidents, of which 0 with injury and none fatal.

2024

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.

28% of passenger cars do not run on petrol (diesel, LPG, electric etc.), against 22% in the municipality of Zaanstad (2025).

Petrol72%
Other fuel (diesel, LPG, electric etc.)28%

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'.
