COA reception locations
The COA has no open file or API with its locations. Each location does have its own page on coa.nl with the capacity, the type of reception (reception centre, emergency shelter, housing for unaccompanied minors …), the term of the agreement with the municipality and the address. We read those pages every Monday, look up the address in the BAG and place it in the municipal boundaries. That gives the number of reception places per municipality and province.
Asylum reception in figures (COA)
How many people live in COA reception, how many arrive and leave each month, which countries they come from and how many already have a residence permit and are waiting for a home. The Ministry of Asylum and Migration publishes these migration chain figures monthly as CSV on data.overheid.nl, one file per year. National figures: not per municipality or per location.
