Share and spatial concentration of social housing in Dutch urban areas

This dataset contains the amount of social housing units of the Netherlands per urban area, as well as the intensity of their spatial autocorrelation and its proportion compared to the total housing stock, for the year 2023. Original data comes from Statistics Netherlands (Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek) released for 100 m x 100 m grid cells covering a large share of the Dutch territory. Grid cells with missing values were excluded from the analysis. The spatial autocorrelation of social housing was calculated with urban area-level and U-style computations of Global Moran's I based on the share of social housing units compared to the total housing stock of every grid cell. Limits and definition of urban areas are extracted from the OECD. Data show considerable variation in the levels of social housing and its spatial concentration among Dutch urban areas.
