## What can you do with it?
- **Bike theft per neighbourhood.** Pick one crime type and map it. For bike theft: many people don't report it.
- **Burglary around the clock change.** Burglaries rise when it gets dark earlier. Compare the months around the clock change over several years.

## Interesting combinations
- Where is the risk of burglary per home highest? → [cbs-kwb](https://www.opendataindex.nl/en/bron/cbs-kwb.md) via buurtcode (BU). Divide burglaries by the number of homes from the key figures, not by residents.
