What can you do with it?3 ideas

Getting started

The Netherlands next to its neighbours

Pick an indicator and put NL next to Belgium, Germany and the EU average.

Advanced

Regions across the border

Compare Limburg with Liège and Aachen at NUTS 2: unemployment, income, life expectancy.

Advanced

Real house prices

Divide the house price index by HICP and see if the rise holds up.

How to process it4 steps

  1. Find the table code

    Every table has a code such as prc_hpi_a. Search the Data Browser and copy it.

  2. Filter in the URL

    Pass each dimension as a parameter: geo=NL&geo=EU27_2020&unit=…

  3. Unpack JSON-stat

    Values are in one flat list; the position follows from each dimension's size. Libraries like eurostat (Python) do this for you.

  4. Watch the flags

    Letters next to values mean provisional (p), estimated (e) or break in series (b).

Interesting combinations

NUTS → gemeente

How does my region compare to Europe?

Aggregate municipalities to COROP (NUTS 3) and compare with European regions.

What to watch out for

  • An index, not a price

    The index shows how fast prices rose, not how expensive homes are. A German home can be cheaper at the same index.

  • Nominal

    Inflation is still included. For real prices, divide by the consumer price index (HICP).

  • Dutch figures come from CBS and Kadaster

    Eurostat only collects. If a figure differs from CBS, it's usually a revision or a different base year.
