Description topics

People moved within CN municipalities
Persons relocating with the old and the new address located in the same municipality. Changes of address which result from changes in the street name, house number and the like are not considered relocations.

In 2016 and 2017, the number of persons who relocated within St. Eustatius was higher than might generally be expected. This was due to unregistered house moves. As a result, people were not residing at the address which was registered in the local population register. This discrepancy showed by means of returned voting cards during the course of the elections in 2017. Based on this information, the municipality took action to update address information in the population register.
In 2013, the number of persons who moved within Saba was higher than may be expected regularly. This was due to administrative changes in residential addresses on Saba that year. These administrative changes could not be distinguished from regular house moves.
