CBS area divisions

The CBS area classifications file provides the area classifications used by Statistics Netherlands. The classifications are given from 2016 to the most recent year. The classifications from 1995 to 2015 can be found via: https://www.nationaalgeoregister.nl/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/290d86cf-9791-4c1a-8bf2-c1520cf3563a. The polygons of these layouts are usually cartographically simplified. This is the case if the layer name says "generalized". Only the municipality, district and neighborhood appear as not generalized for more recent years. In the first half of that year, the most recent year contains provisional boundaries for municipality, province, COROP and part of the country, but no other supra-municipal divisions and no districts and neighborhoods for that year. In the update around the middle of the year, the provisional boundaries are replaced by definitive boundaries and the districts, neighborhoods and various supra-municipal divisions of that year are added. The following area divisions can occur: Municipality Landsdeel Province Neighborhood COROP area GGD region NUTS1 NUTS2 NUTS3 District Metropolitan agglomeration Urban region COROP-plus area COROP sub-area Agricultural area Agricultural group RPA area Tourist group Tourist area District area Fire service region Chamber of Commerce region Police region Regional Unit Security region Care office region Labor market region Youth region Ressort RES region
