## What can you do with it?
- **How much of your municipality is built-up?.** Count pixels per class within the municipal boundary.

## Interesting combinations
- Green per neighbourhood → [pdok-wijkenbuurten](http://localhost:3471/en/bron/pdok-wijkenbuurten.md) via geometrie. Clip the raster per neighbourhood and compute the share of trees and grass.
