Explanation of symbols

Dataset is not available.

This table contains information about the progress of the households in the Netherlands by size and composition and persons by household position, on 1 January.

Data available from: 1995

Status of the figures:
The figures in this table are final.

With the information available for the reporting years 1995, 1996 and 1997 it is not easy to make an unambiguous assignment of persons in institutional households in three distinct categories of institutions. For this reason the numbers are set as unknown.

Changes as of 7 August 2023:
The figures of 1 January 2023 have been added.

When will new figures be published?
The final figures of 1 January 2024 will be added in the 4th quarter of 2024.
