E.g. income population and persons with 52 weeks of income, after revision, 2002

Since 1946, the Central Bureau of Statistics has held regularly research on regional income distribution. These studies are mainly based on registers from the Ministry of Finance (the tax registers) and the Dutch municipalities (the population registers = GBA). The final RIO results are based on a sample of 1.9 million households. The figures in this table differ from the previously published figures figures for 2002 because disposable income and increase used in accordance with the 2003 methodology (see also 4.5 and 4.7.4). In the further course of this explanation we speak about “Nárevision 2003”. Income distributions of persons and households, by country, province, COROP area, metropolitan agglomeration, city-west and municipality. Data available from: 2002 Frequency: one-off Because the municipal division changes every year, results from the RIO for each individual research year published; aggregation or division of municipalities as a result, all information related to income in a newly formed or split municipality can significantly change this means that comparability in time is not possible.
