Persons with a benefit; type of benefit, neighbourhoods and neighbourhoods 2015

This table provides insight into the number of people with social security benefits per municipality, district and neighbourhood (2015 classification). These are the persons with a disability benefit, unemployment, old age and assistance. It is possible that a person is entitled to more than one benefit. These may include benefits of the same kind (e.g. two benefits under the Incapacity Insurance Act (WAO)) or two benefits of different types (such as a benefit under the Unemployment Act and a social assistance allowance). In the latter case, the person is included in both types of benefits, in the first case only once (with the WAO). In the category of persons with a benefit (total), the person is of course counted only once. Figures on the number of people with benefits per neighbourhood, district or municipality may differ slightly from figures published elsewhere on StatLine, by using the latest data from the Basic Persons Registration (BRP). Because different StatLine tables are updated at different times, it may happen that for one table a different version of the BRP is used than for another table. In that case, the latest published figures are the most accurate. Data available from: March 2015. Status of the figures: The 2015 figures are final. Changes by: 16 August 2021 In the explanatory memorandum and definitions, it was incorrectly stated that the figures also related to persons with assistance-related benefits.
