Births, deaths and moves are CBS's, from the population register. A municipality's migration counts moves from other municipalities and from abroad, with administrative corrections; the Netherlands' counts moves to and from abroad only. Homes finished are dwellings added by new building: from the buildings register since 2015, and for the Netherlands from CBS's stock accounts since 1926. A home houses a household, not a person: two or three new residents per new home is roughly one home per new household.

At the average sale price, a home costs €473,060. With 10% down and a 30-year mortgage, the payment is €2,018 a month. The Netherlands sets no single cap on the payment: each year the law fixes how much of their income a household may spend on the mortgage, by income and interest rate.

Renting the average home costs less each month than owning it. Owning counts interest, running costs and the return the deposit could earn, at the average sale price; rent is what private tenants pay on average, after housing benefit. Repaying the loan is saving, so it is left out.
