Figures come from official Dutch registered-crime statistics reported at the municipality level, not individual incident locations or addresses. Totals reflect crimes reported to and registered by police, which is a lower number than crimes that actually occurred, since not every incident gets reported.
A municipality of 800,000 people will almost always show a bigger raw crime total than one of 20,000, simply because more people and more activity produce more registered incidents — that difference says very little about which place is actually safer per resident. The statistically meaningful comparison divides the total by population, giving a crime rate (typically per 1,000 or 100,000 inhabitants) that puts municipalities of very different sizes on the same footing.
No, the data is aggregated at the municipality level, not plotted at street addresses or precise coordinates.
They reflect the most recent period available from the official statistics source at the time of loading, which is typically updated on a periodic reporting schedule rather than in real time.
No, this map is built on Dutch municipal crime statistics only.
Not directly. A larger population produces more raw incidents almost by definition, so a big city will usually show a higher total than a small village regardless of how relatively safe either place is. A meaningful comparison divides the total by population — a crime rate per 1,000 or 100,000 residents — rather than comparing raw counts side by side.
