The values were observed between 2024 and 2025. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value. Only published cities with at least 20,000 residents and city-level observations qualify. ## Sources Eurostat — https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/api/dissemination/statistics/1.0/data/urb_cpopcb?format=JSON&lang=en CBS Kerncijfers wijken en buurten 2025, municipality-grain passenger-car universe (Personenauto's totaal) divided by the same-table municipality population. — https://opendata.cbs.nl/ODataApi/OData/86165NED/TypedDataSet?%24filter=startswith%28WijkenEnBuurten%2C%27GM%27%29&%24select=WijkenEnBuurten%2CGemeentenaam_1%2CSoortRegio_2%2CIndelingswijzigingGemeenteWijkBuurt_4%2CAantalInwoners_5%2CNederland_17%2CEuropaExclusiefNederland_18%2CBuitenEuropa_19%2CBevolkingsdichtheid_34%2CPersonenautoSTotaal_104%2COppervlakteTotaal_115%2COppervlakteLand_116%2COppervlakteWater_117 ## Cite This citation identifies the ImmigrationDB compilation/page.
